Zero is a privately held company, and it's the investors choice not to officially release sales numbers, so I'm not sure how this article got this information.  It says "the company said" but I don't ever remember the company saying that in any press release or anything, and they don't name anyone from the company in that statement.  Although since it wasn't contested by anyone, I guess the numbers could be a good ball park number.

I don't think there is any question that sales are going up every year with this year being a huge jump.  While you might not be able to ask Zero directly, if you have followed Hollywood Electrics on social media the past few years, you notice they post photos of their new additions to the Hollywood Electrics family when an owner takes delivery of their new Zero.  The frequency of these posts as been increasing each year.  And this year was just wild!  It seemed for a while this summer there were 2 or 3 new owners a week, sometimes it was every other day I felt.  So for sure this year is their best ever for Hollywood Electrics.   And since that is just one dealer, and the number of dealers has easily doubled or tripled or maybe more in the last two years if you look at the dealer map on the Zero webpage often.  So if you do some simple math it's not hard to see the company is growing and demand for these bikes is increasing fast with this year growing at a higher number AND rate than the previous few years.  I can only expect this to continue each year as the bikes go further for the same or less cost, and get better and more refined all around.

Transparency is not Zero's strong suit.  Its a disappointment as they should really lead in this area.  Perhaps they will figure that out sooner or later.   But as Zero Apologist (tm) Electronic Terry has pointed out they are a private company and are not required to release those numbers.

Not sure what your beef is with Zero or why you think transparency in sales figures is so important, but there's no need for name calling. Especially Terry who is a huge supporter of the community and one of the most genuine people I've ever met.

I think it is just a case of Zero enthusiasts wondering how many other people around the world are just as enthusiastic as they are about Zeros.      Sometimes when you can't find answers to your important questions, you can get a little frustrated.  However, I took gingerjet's little dig at Terry as sort of a "wink" and not anything meant to be derogatory.    After all, Terry is a great spokesperson for Zero, even if he doesn't have a trademark yet.   

At the 10th anniversary Party I asked how many bikes they made in the last year.  They would not say, but they did tell me that they made ~400 more bike in the last year.  I asked what % what that and they said 30%. So by simple math they are making ~1330 bikes a year now.
