>electric vehicle sales were 0.66% of unit auto sales in 2015, and actually represented a sharp numeric decrease from 2014

US auto sales in 2015 were 17,470,000.

US EV sales in 2015 were 116,000.

That's 0.66% of total unit auto sales.

EV sales compares with 122,000 units in 2014, or negative growth in 2015 by 6,000 units, or about 5%.
