Sales of GM’s Chevrolet Volt were down 40 units in February compared to January sales, while Nissan has sold just 67 LEAF electric cars in the U.S. last month.
GM sold 321 Chevrolet Volt units in January; this number dropped to 281 in February. Nissan LEAF sales totaled 87 in January and dropped to 67 for the month of February.
In all, GM has sold 928 Volts, while Nissan, its fiercest electric car competitor, has apparently only sold 173 Nissan LEAFs in the U.S. since launch.
GM had originally planned to sell the Volt in only select areas of the country before 2012, but the automaker announced that it would expand sales of the Volt to all 50 states by the end of the year.
Nissan has said 20,000 people have put down $99 deposits to be put on a waiting list for the car.
The LEAF has a $32,780 base price while the Volt starts at $41,000. Both cars also are eligible for a federal tax credit that will cut their prices by $7,500.
