Overall auto sales were up nicely in February, so the poor sales figures for the Leaf and Volt cannot be blamed on a general downturn. It’s possible it is still a supply issue (doing a slow production ramp while working out quality issues), but I’ll be surprised if these sell well even with gas prices going up.
If gas prices climb higher, I would be more likely to buy a motor scooter for commuting before I would buy a Volt or a Leaf.
