Tesla dominated electric car sales in Canada in June

Electric cars accounted for nearly 3% of all passenger vehicles sold in Canada in June, thanks to a surge in Tesla Model 3 shipments.

With the California automaker known for delivering country by country, June the delivery data will not be finalized until the end of the month. (Several other manufacturers also decide not to deliver their rechargeable electric vehicles.)

Meanwhile, Green Car Reports estimated that about 1,850 shipments of Tesla Model 3 in Canada were delivered in June. approximately 295 Model S crossover hatchbacks and 382 model X crossovers.

Model S and Model X delivery estimates are consistent with Tesla's monthly top totals for each vehicle, assuming certain reservation holders Model 3 doing the first wave might have bought one of the other Tesla models. The derivation of the model 3 figure has been described in an earlier cover

Mitsubishi, a Nissan partner, sold 479 Outlander hybrid vehicles, down slightly from 490 in May, but in line with its average of 502 over four months. starts in March, so the four-month averages will usually offer the most representative comparisons.)

Toyota Prius Prime was the other four-cent club member in June, with its 413 online sales with its own average 425. If the elimination of point-of-sale electric vehicle rebates in Ontario ensures that potential buyers of electric cars opt for conventional hybrid vehicles, Toyota could benefit because it has the most wide range of standard hybrids

Chevrolet recorded sales of 397 Volt and 306 Bolt EV in June. Both vehicles are expected to break their respective annual sales records based on sales in the first half of the year.
