Sales of the Tesla Model S (http://www.electricvehiclechat.com/tesla-model-s) were up in August, as were those of nearly every other plug-in car (except the Prius Plug-In and Chevy Spark EV (http://www.electricvehiclechat.com/chevrolet-spark-ev)). (Jim Motavalli photo)

It’s common knowledge that statistics can tell a variety of stories, sometimes quite contradictory. For instance, Edmunds.com sent this over my transom:

“Lost in the euphoria of this summer’s strong car sales is that sales of electric and hybrid cars have surprisingly stalled. Sales of electric drive vehicles (including EVs, hybrids and plug-in hybrids) have made up 3.6 percent of all new car sales so far in 2014, which is a tick below the 3.7 percent market share for the full year last year. ” (Boldface in the original.)
