    Toyota's sales conference details: Toyota | April 2013 Sales Conference Notes

    I'm waiting for the Dashboard since that gives perspective across the hybrid/diesel/EV market as well as trends over the past four months. Like the old joke about two men running away from a lion, one said 'why are we running, man can not out run a lion.' The other said, 'I'm just out running you.'

    From Toyota Rav4 EV Forum • View topic - Apr 2013 sales Rav4 EV - "70" - 472 of 2600 sold, I'm hearing that 70 RAV4 EVs were sold.

    This month might be interesting since the '13 Rav4 EVs have arrived but Toyota hasn't put any incentives on them yet (
    Toyota Dealerships - New & Used Car Deals & Special Offers | BuyAToyota.com
    w/a So Cal zip code like 90024). I'd imagine they want to clear out the '12s before putting incentives on the '13. Judging about how the '12s sold w/o incentives and '13s are unchanged, sales will go in the toilet until they slap them on the '13.

    My Nissan Leaf Forum • View topic - 2013 Apr Plugin Sales Discussion : Leaf 1,936 ; Volt 1,306 can give you an idea of plug-in sales, so far.

    Well the good news (for PHV/EV procrastinators) is we still have a long time to go with Federal tax credits which go to the first 200,000 vehicles per manufacturer.

    ...quite sure it's 200,000 or 200k cars per manufacturer. What seems to be happening though, is that the price of the cars is coming down so much that the incentives may look too generous. I figure the repubs will scale it back first chance they get, but at the rate they are going (sales and repubs), looks like the credit has some years to go.

    That does sound promising for me considering Honda only sold 168 so far in 2013.

    Thanks.
    I was thinking that it was 20K. Don't know where I read that.
    So yes.....you're right.
    Pips and Volts have a waaaaaaaay to go, even if the number goes down to 180K due to Sequestration Cuts...:D

    It's 200,000, plus the next quarter's sales. Then by quarter the credit is 75%, 50%, 25% and finally 0%.

    It'll take a long time.

    No I live in an apartment with separated garage. No outlet. Even with a 120 volt outlet, charging time isn't practical.

    Something to look for when you change apartments. My son found an apartment with washer/dryer connections in the car port. The dryer outlet was 240V/50A which was more than adequate for charging.

    Yea that's kinda rare. I just bought a car but hopefully by the time I'm ready for another car, I'll have a house.
