Proving that EV's can handle the cold, more than 500 I-Mievs are now runnig around Estonia |
Back To Reality Edition
After a stratospheric year of 2012, where 456 I-Mievs were registered thanks to a deal between Mitsubishi and the Estonian Government, taking the local EV share to an out-of-this-world 2,39% result, the second highest share in the world just behind Norway, this year things are back to normal, with 42 units sold and 0,30% share, a solid 25% improvement over 2011.
Looking at the ranking, this is another country where the Nissan Leaf is comfortably on top, with the Mitsu I-Miev in a distant third place, unable to reach #1 and renew the best selling title it had in 2011 and 2012.
A curiosity of this EV market is the 13 units registrations from MIA, making Estonia one of the few successful export markets of the quirky french brand.
