It sure looks like they are going great! I see Leafs almost daily on my way to and from work, not bad considering they've only been available for a year and a half. Oh yeah, and then there are the TWO Leafs I see daily in the relatively small parking lot at work, plus the other two company-owned Leafs I occasionally see in the lot. Volts have been available for even less time, and I'm starting to see those occasionally too.

I saw a Volt on Tuesday, and another one today.

Re: Electric cars sales slow; battle comes down to Volt or Leaf
Seeing Volts almost daily. Have only ever seen 1 Leaf, always parked on the street, which is odd.

Re: Electric cars sales slow; battle comes down to Volt or Leaf
I cannot fit my family of four in the Volt, so that is a deal-breaker. We easily fit in the Leaf, along with a friend.

Re: Electric cars sales slow; battle comes down to Volt or Leaf
I thought the Volt was more like "two adults and two briefcases" and not really "four adult passengers".
