| The Plug Prius leads in the Netherlands |
The Rise of Zoe - Dutch Edition
Despite a below average sales month (310 units), and because the global dutch market is falling even more (-37%!), this month the EV share recovered to the 2012 levels, at 1,10%.
A strong Prius Plug-In dethroned the Opel Ampera from number one both on the monthly and YTD rankings, and the Renault Zoe jumped to third in May, benefiting from its first real month of sales (48 units).
On the other hand, the Nissan Leaf had a terrible sales month, selling just 10 units. Is it a hiccup or is the Zoe stealing sales? To be seen in the next episodes.
