Hybrid sales up 82% Nov 07 vs. Nov 06

 December 7, 2007

hybrid_sales_2007111.pngHybrid sales are taking off again as gasoline prices soar:

Reported sales of hybrids in the US in November rose 82% year-on-year to reach 33,233 total units, representing 2.8% of all light-duty vehicles sold during the month. GM does not break out its hybrid sales separately, and so is not reflected in the hybrid number–thus, the actual hybrid total and new market share will [be] slightly higher.

Toyota posted a strong month, with Prius sales hitting 16,737 units, up 109% from the year before.

Still a small fraction of U.S. vehicles sold, but gas prices clearly do have some impact on purchasing decisions.

    Sales numbers of hybrids can be misleading. For years toyota was sold out of hydrids, they could have sold more if they had them.

    hey Joe,

    Gingrich was on C-span with his ‘they ought to give the company that is the first to make a hydrogen engine a billion dollars’ this last week and C-span said it was live. Somebody should brief him on technology.
