Slow Lane Edition
With 721 plug-ins sold in November, the german market still hasn't embraced EV's the way one would expect, now that the german manufacturers are joining the plug-in bandwagon. True, this was the second best month ever and the EV share rose to 0,22%, but the growth rate is disappointing.
The BMW i3 (121 units sold) is still stuck on the one hundreds, just like the the Zoe, while the Nissan Leaf and Tesla Model S fail to impress. The only to register decent sales is the Good Old Smart, with 298 units, making it also the best seller of the month.
In the brands ranking things are pretty tight between Renault (30% share) and Smart (31% share), with Smart taking the lead for the moment.
