| The darling of the electric bunch, the Model S has arrived to France |
After several months selling bellow expectations, the french EV market sold 1.570 units, making it the second best month of the year (March saw 1.816 sales), with a number of bright spots, like the slow recovery of the Zoe (503 units, best month since June), the year best result of the Bolloré Blue Car (203 units), up two positions to #4, and another personal best score of the Nissan Leaf (198 units), a consistent competitor in the Hexagon.
A final comment for the BMW i3, 17 units is good start, let's see how it behaves in the coming months.
