Mazda car sales in the US significantly decreased in May, by 63.7% year-over-year to 15,312 units. Also, the result after the first five months is negative - 127,673 (down 18.5% year-over-year), which clearly indicates that the Japanese brand has some serious supply issues.
Meanwhile, the all-electric Mazda MX-30 sales remain at a very low level of just 35 units last month, and 293 so far this year. The best monthly result was achieved in March - 101.
Cumulatively, Mazda delivered some 507 units, which makes us wonder whether there is economical sense to sell BEVs in such low volume? Especially since the MSRP of $33,470 (+$1,175 DST) probably does not leave much space for a high margin. The cost after deducting a $7,500 federal tax credit is $27,145.
Considering Mazda's sales numbers, BEVs and overall, one might say that the Japanese company has for too long neglected electric cars.
