Nissan Leaf Superstar - Austrian Edition
April saw the Austrian EV market showing some pulse, with 45 sales, the best month of the year but still far from the near hundred sales/month it used to register last year. As consequence of this, the EV share is down to 0,09% when last year it ended at 0,30%.
Looking at the models chart, three models stand out: like in 2012, the Renault Twizy is #1 YTD but in the April chart the Nissan Leaf won the top spot for the first time and with it climbed four positions, regarding last year, to a brilliant #2 YTD. The Opel Ampera secures a brilliant third place, up 8(!) positions comparing with last year chart and already selling more units than in the whole year of 2012 (10 units), this is a rare bright spot for the Opel Plug-In, which is watching their sales go down everywhere.
