The Best Month Yet for the Subaru Solterra, Subaru's Electric Vehicle! At Competition Auto Group, we’re thrilled to share that Subaru’s electric Solterra has achieved its best August sales performance ever! In August 2024, Subaru sold 1,417 units of the all-electric Solterra, marking an impressive 55% increase from the 915 units sold in August 2023. This remarkable growth highlights the rising demand for Subaru’s battery electric vehicle (BEV) and a shift towards more sustainable transportation options. Year-to-date, Subaru continues to break records with the Solterra, having sold 8,063 units, which represents a nearly 74% increase from the 4,645 units sold during the same period in 2023. This surge underscores the growing popularity of the Solterra, especially among Long Island consumers who are increasingly seeking innovative and eco-friendly vehicles. Its standout features, advanced technology, and design excellence make the Solterra a top choice for those looking to invest in a cutting-edge electric vehicle. The 2024 Subaru Solterra has also seen notable upgrades, including faster charging times and new tech features, making it even more appealing. These enhancements likely contribute to its strong sales growth, as drivers look for reliable, feature-packed EVs that meet their everyday needs. To experience these advancements for yourself, we invite you to schedule a test drive with our dedicated staff at Competition Subaru. Looking ahead, Subaru plans to adopt Tesla’s North American Charging Standard (NACS) ports in 2025, allowing future Solterra owners to access the extensive Tesla Supercharger network. Current Solterra owners will also benefit from this update, as Subaru will provide adapters to ensure compatibility with the NACS system.

Our beautiful planet is a masterpiece in its own right. We should all care about taking care and cleaning up a place we all call home. We can do so much to help! Recycling, using sustainable products, planting in nature are only the beginning. “ … we feel it’s our personal responsibility to protect Earth’s natural wonders and encourage our retailers and customers to engage in smart environmental practices…” -Tom Doll, president and CEO, Subaru of America, Inc. Subaru works hard to reduce waste and minimize the carbon footprint left with materials being used. While these are great steps forward, we also preserve natural spaces  which leads us to.. we are proud to announce our partnership with One Tree Planted! One Tree Planted is a nonprofit organization on a mission to make saving the planet one step easier by planting more trees in our environment. Subaru has decided that with every new car purchased we donate a tree to the land. Helping the earth can now be as simple as donating a dollar! This organization’s main goal is to globally reforest. Their goal is to simplify the process of helping the environment by planting trees themselves. They understand life can become busy and hard to find time between responsibilities, family, work and life happens, but with just one dollar you are donating a plant back into nature. Not only are you donating to a created cause but we are investing in ourselves and the lives of our future generations. We as humans reap so many of the benefits of nature. All the trees you walk alongside in Nissequogue River State Park provide us oxygen to breathe, growing the products out of the ground for our consumption and the flowers you pick from Cold Spring Harbor to give to your mom on mother’s day. “Together we can restore forests, create habitat for biodiversity, and make a positive social impact around the world.” -One Tree Planted The organization has been able to more than double the amount of trees planted each year. They work with partners in over 43 countries in places like North America, Latin America, Africa and Europe. They reported that over 40,000,000 trees have been planted across the globe since 2014. One Tree Planted was able to more than double their impact from 2020, in 2021. With your help, we can continue to move toward a better and green-er future!
