Roughly 25,000 Plug-In Electric Cars Were Sold In Canada In H1 2019

Tesla’s share stands at more than one third as the Model 3 is the most popular plug-in car.

In Canada, plug-in electric car sales remain strong. In June, sales decreased by 6% year-over-year to 5,890, but it was mostly because June 2018 was a record month. Previous year results were especially high because the generous incentive of $14,000 CAD in Ontario was ending. EV Sales Blog noted that it was the first decline in four years.

It’s great to see that this year’s overall results are similar without Ontario’s boost and despite decreasing car sales in Canada (-10% in June). Market share for plug-ins amounted to about 3.2% last month.

During the first half of this year, total sales are estimated at 24,851, which translates to an average market share of 2.5%.
