Nissan Leaf And Tesla Model S Probably Both Outsold Chevrolet's Volt Last Month

The Chevrolet Volt was under siege in April, being outsold by the smaller and less-expensive Nissan Leaf, while the twice-as-expensive Tesla Model S may have surpassed it, too.

Sales of GM’s plug-in electric vehicle, which can travel 38 miles on its battery before a small gasoline engine kicks in, fell 11% from April 2012. Through the first four months of 2013, Volt sales are up only 3%.

The Nissan Leaf, which can travel 75 miles on one charge, outsold the Volt for the second consecutive month.

Meanwhile, Silicon Valley start-up Tesla Motors’ luxury electric Model S sedan could outsell both the Volt and Leaf in April.
