Nissan Leaf (1,539) outsells Chevy Volt (1,519) for first time since January

"Last month, GM sold 1,519 Chevrolet Volt vehicles, up from 1,139 in November 2011 but way down from the record-setting 2,961 Volts sold in October 2012. And here we thought maybe Chevy was on the way to breaking the 3,000 barrier for the first time. GM says that tight supply constrained deliveries, which makes the recent production shut-down seem questionable, but that was to retool for the current model year as much as anything.
The Volt's decline was countered by a slight decline in Nissan Leaf sales, down from 1,579 units in October to 1,539 last month. This means November 2012 was the first time since January 2012 that the Leaf has outsold the Volt. In November 2011, Nissan sold 672 Leafs.
The field of plug-in vehicles is getting a nice and crowded these days, but it's always interesting to see how the first two models out of the gate are still doing. We'll have our larger write-up of November's green car sales coming soon.
