Numb Edition After 190 units sold in March, the Italian EV market went back to two-digits in April, with the EV Share stuck at 0,09%. But all is not bad, the total amount of sales this year are at 439 units, way above the 274 registered a year ago.
There wasn't any real surprises in the ranking, with only three models (Twizy, Leaf and BMW i3) scoring significant sales. In the YTD ranking the Twizy is #1 and the last place of the podium changed hands, with the BMW i3 (28 sales in April) rising to #3 and the Renault Zoe dropping to #4, the french hatch had an horrible month, selling just 4 units, its worst result ever. tr>
