| Seen from behind, the Twizy looks something between a helmet and R2-D2 |
From a monthly average of 138 EV's sold last year, now spanish sales are down to only sold 60 units until February, 28th, falling even more than the general auto market there and originating a EV share drop from 0,24% to just 0,04%. The economic crisis is all over the newscovers these days there, so it's natural that people there have other priorities, right?
As result of this nosedive, this year's ranking has little to do with 2012, the Twizy is still in #1 but it's down nine points to 48% share, the Mitsu I-Miev jumped to #2 and in third there are three models: The Nissan Leaf, the Prius Plug-In and finally the Smart Fortwo ED, this last model is the only to increase its sales regarding last year, in fact with just 5 cars sold in February, it already reached last year sales...
