Reuters posted an interesting "news" article on February 4th claiming that EVs face a dead end. This article was very selective in its reporting and missed an obvious fact: sales of plug-in vehicles in the U.S. more than tripled in 2012, and continue to outpace the growth of the supposedly more mainstream hybrids.
"sales of plug-in vehicles in the U.S. more than tripled in 2012, and continue to outpace the growth of the supposedly more mainstream hybrids." growth is all relative. If you sold 1 ev last year an 2 this year then your sales have doubled. VERY impressive. In the same time, if a hybrid is selling at 300,000 units last year and then sells 450,000 the next that is a 150,000 vehicle increase but only a 50% gain.
