• Fusion hybrid - who woke them up? Any ideas?

I just copy what Jeff posts and shuffle into a spreadsheet. I know the Tesla has to do with estimated sales and i3 with the mix of BEV and REX. Check the source for the others.

Good Luck

Found this in another forum:


Perhaps some of our EV/Plug-in advocates might add this in the future as a subset?

Bob Wilson

ps. I will see if there is someway to code the Jeff Cobb table to identify vehicle types. Perhaps a new first column with a 'filter' selectable type.

 

One of the reasons I do this summary is to deal with incomplete articles like: Toyota Lags Behind VW in Global Sales as Prius Stumbles in U.S. - Bloomberg

Toyota Motor Corp. lagged behind Volkswagen AG by global deliveries in the first half of the year, as demand for the newly redesigned Prius hybrid slumped in a U.S. market dominated by trucks and sport utility vehicles.
. . . ​

The implication is the Prius is responsible for Toyota's 'global deliveries.' Of course they could not mention sales numbers of the 2016 Prius which will good haven't been the failures seen in other releases. What is worse, the 'lying by omission' authors didn't notice the RAV-4 hybrid sales that have done very well. It is like describing the Grand Canyon of sales and ending it by saying,"oh a squirrel."

So just to look over the January-to-June sales for the Prius and two SUV-style hybrids:

	Model	06/15/16	05/15/16	04/15/16	03/15/16	02/15/16	01/16/16
1	Prius Liftback	8531	9389	8923	8130	7169	6333
2	RAV4	3751	4185	3807	3073	2462	1973
3	Highlander Hybrid	528	473	442	492	396	375

Last year was last year and though good, the 2016 Prius sales are nothing to dismiss and certainly not the reason for a world-wide sales dip.

Jeff Cobb is one of the most insightful reviewers of the market we are interested: These Plug-in Cars Are Selling Well Compared to Regular Hybrids

Although media reports periodically focus on relatively low sales for plug-in electrified vehicles (PEVs), a few standout models are selling in numbers respectable even next to much-better established non-plug-in hybrids.


The regular, non-plug-in hybrid market has had 16 years in the U.S. to get underway and today the two top sellers – the Toyota Prius and new RAV4 Hybrid – have sold from January through July 58,405 units and 23,943 units respectively.
. . . ​

His numbers are spot on although we might disagree on which plug-in makes most sense. I don't have any problem with his metrics.
