Chevrolet Volt and Nissan Leaf: Obama wants one million electric cars on the US road in 2015; A Million Electric Vehicles: Back in January, during his State of the Union speech, President Obama said that he wanted the U.S. to �become the first country to have one million electric cars on the US road,� and he wanted it to happen by 2015. Given current sales of the Chevrolet Volt and Nissan Leaf, the president may hit his target . . . sometime in 2064.
In May, U.S. car sales for the much-hyped Chevrolet Volt totaled 481. Nissan Leaf did better, with 1,142 units sold. That�s a grand total of 1,623 electric cars sold for the month. At that torrid rate, it will take about 639 months, or a bit more than 53 years, for domestic sales of electric cars to reach 1 million.
Obama wants electric cars by 2015, but 2064 is a more realistic estimate.
