Chevrolet Volt has managed once again to outsell Nissan’s LEAF and Toyota’s Prius Plug-in in monthly sales figures for the U.S. plug-in vehicle market.
General Motors has sold 1,760 plug-in hybrid Chevrolet Volt vehicles in June, more than triple it sold in the same month last year.
In the first half of 2012, GM sold 8,817 Chevrolet Volt EVs, over 300 percent year over year. It already has topped Volt sales for all of 2011, which were about 7,600.
