Volvo reports 7,667 car sales in the U.S. in November, which is down 33.8% year-over-year. The company explains the decrease by “a shortage of components, which affected production.” The year-to-date result is still positive – 111,733 (up 16.5% year-over-year).

Nonetheless, the Volvo Recharge plug-in sub-brand is growing. In November, the company sold some 1,712 plug-ins (up 42% year-over-year), which is 22.3% of the total volume. In California, the plug-in share is almost three times higher at 59%.

We can also see that Volvo is now in the process of shifting from plug-in hybrids towards all-electric cars, but it will take some time to reach full speed with this transition – most likely in 2022 and 2023, when the new models will enter the market.

Volvo plug-in car sales in the U.S. last month and year-to-date:

  • BEVs412 (up 677.4%) and 5,637 YTD (up 10,149%)
  • PHEVs1,300 (up 12.7%) and 14,206 YTD (up 166.5%)
  • Plug-ins1,712 (up 41.8%) and 19,843 YTD (up 268.4%)
