Proof?

Yes, but you seem to have ignored these...

Plug-in electric car sales triple in 2012
http://www.newsday.com/classifieds/c...2012-1.4318285

Read it closely; most of the sales are hybrids and no numbers are given for
pure electrics.

Electric car sales rising steadily
http://www.mysanantonio.com/business...es-4143761.php

Again, read it closely; the sales of hybrids is increasing rapidly while
the pure electrics are next to nothing and basically flat.

Hybrid, Electric Car Sales Projection May Be To Conservative
http://evworld.com/news.cfm?newsid=29410

Electric vehicles proving popular
http://www.newsherald.com/news/busin...opular-1.68215

Doesn't say a thing about sales numbers, just that most people who have
bought an electric car of some sort like them and hybrids outsell electrics.

Electric-drive Car Sales Record New High in November
http://evworld.com/news.cfm?newsid=29338

Hybrid, EV Sales ‘Up 73%’ in 2012, Mintel Says
http://www.environmentalleader.com/2...2-mintel-says/

Says the sales of ALL types of electric cars are up and does not break it
down by hybrid versus electric. We allready know hybrid sales are up.

It also forcasts the TOTAL sales of all type might reach a whopping 5%
of the US market by 2017.

Sales of Alternative Fuel Vehicles on the Rise.
Will reach record high in 2012, says Mintel

This is a duplicate of the last link.


Electric Car Sales Hit Another Record. Electric car sales reached a
record in November for the fourth consecutive month
http://www.forbes.com/sites/toddwood...nother-record/

Again lumps hybrids and electrics together.


Sales of electric cars double as new models come online
http://www.equities.com/news/headlin...cat=industrial

Again lumps hybrids and electrics together, but at least admits "electric
cars still account for a marginal proportion of the UK market" and is
about the UK.


I could continue, but you get the idea.

Yeah, you don't bother to actually read any of the links you post.

You just read the headline and make assumptions.

The bottom line is sales of electric cars are trivial and basically flat
while the sales of hybrids are tiny and climbing and MAY make the 2 digit
percentage market in a decade or so.
