David beats Goliath(s) Edition
The BMW i3 (39 units, 22 BEV's + 17 REx), was the best selling EV in Belgium last April, repeating the pole-position it had last February and beating larger cars (Panamera Plug-In, Model S, just to name two), despite this second monthly trophy, the american Sports-Sedan is still #1, resisting for the moment at the attacks from BMW's City-MPV-with-hot-hatch-genes and Porsche's Four-Door-Coupe-Thingy.
The last year leader, the Volvo V60 Plug-In, is slowly recovering (30 units, best result of the year) and it's now tied with the Nissan Leaf in #4.
