Thanks to nearly 45,000 plug-in cars sold in September, cumulative sales of all plug-in models reached one million units. For mainstream consumers, electrification began in December 2010, when the first Nissan LEAFs and Chevrolet Volts were delivered – we tracked those numbers with passion every month!

This year sales already exceed 230,000 and should be close to 400,000 for the full year of 2018.
The most popular brands that together represents 70% of sales were:
Tesla – 273,773 (Model S + Model X + Model 3, without Roadster)
General Motors – 193,430 (Chevrolet Volt, Bolt EV, Spark EV plus Cadillac ELR & CT6 PHV)
Nissan – 125,513 (LEAF)
Ford – 110,130 (Fusion Energi, C-Max Energi, Focus Electric)

Good, let's keep going. Let's give those oil barons hell.
Looks like it's pretty much on Tesla until other manufacturers step up:

One problem I have with electric cars is that I don't have a garage. Do I just have a cord running out of my front door?

I don't put my Leaf in the garage even though we have one. The most basic thing you could do is install an outdoor plug socket.

We are gonna start running into charging issues real fast. In the UK most councils don't have any plans to introduce public charging options, and the ones that do only have a dozen or so. It's gonna be a bit of a clusterfuck for the next few years I reckon.
I think over here in the UK there might be a few years of pain, especially for those without home charging options. However it's not all bad, since more affordable EVs with 300 mile range are now coming out.
