Peruse Chevrolet's February sales release, and you'll notice one number that's blatantly missing: how many Chevy Volts were sold. The number – a very modest 281 – is available in the company's detailed data (PDF), but it apparently isn't something that GM wants to highlight. Keeping the number quiet is understandable, since it's lower than the 321 that Chevy sold in January.
Nissan doesn't have anything to brag about here, either (and it avoided any mention of the Leaf sales in its press release). Why? Well, back in January, the company sold 87 Leafs. In February? Just 67. Where does that leave us? Well, here's the big scorecard for all U.S. sales of these vehicles thus far:
Ouch. The big questions, of course, revolve around one word: "Why?"

N o deconstruction of this rather florid metaphor is availlable, nor offered, nor any warranty of relevance, coherence, or anything but picturesquence.

Feb was shorter than Jan, so they sold about 10 Volts a day for both months. I checked around here and there are no Volts in Baltimore inventories but a handful in DC inventories. Commenters say that Autotrader has several hundred listed.
The Leaf was missing in action from the Baltimore auto show, and seems to be very hard to find. Renault has partnered with Nissan to produce EVs, and TTAC theorizes that the Renault spy scandal may have been a half-baked cover up of the missing Leaf scandal. Seems dumb to me to obliquely accuse the world's only supplier of rare earths of espionage.
