Yes, you have read it right, this about sales in 2012, but i believe the sales data i've stumbled a few days ago is worth noting, as they come from countries out of the usual Green Car Media focus. To me it's the first insight into their plug-in sales and i believe it is also the first time they go public.
Here they go:
Luxembourg
The highest waged country in the EU registered 85 plug-in cars in 2012 with Renault leading the charge.
Pl | Model | 2012 |
1 | Renault Kangoo ZE | 23 |
2 | Opel Ampera / Chev. Volt | 20 |
3 | Citröen C-Zero | 20 |
4 | Renault Fluence ZE | 9 |
5 6 | Fisker Karma Mia Electric | 2 1 |
Slovenia
The PSA (Peugeot and Citröen) brands did a lot to push EV's in Central and Eastern Europe, here's another proof of that.
Pl | Model | 2012 |
1 | Citröen C-Zero | 16 |
2 | Opel Ampera | 9 |
3 | Nissan Leaf | 2 |
Slovakia
Pl | Model | 2012 |
1 | Opel Ampera | 4 |
2 | Citröen C-Zero | 2 |
Hungary
Again Opel and Citröen testing the waters for plug-ins here.
Pl | Model | 2012 |
1 | Opel Ampera | 9 |
2 | Citröen C-Zero | 5 |
3 | Nissan Leaf | 2 |
Final mention for Turkey, 92 Renault Fluence ZE were sold in 2012 there, a small drop in the general Turkish market, but nevertheless it was enough to make it one of the top markets for the french sedan.
