| At least for now, Belgium is Tesla territory |
In a general off month for EV's in Belgium, BMW won on their direct competitors, recovering a bit to Tesla (23 units sold) and substantially to Porsche (Only 10 Panamera Plug-ins sold, worst performance of the year), the bavarian automaker is now more comfortably placed in #2 both in the manufacturers and models ranking.
The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV continues to impress, it was again #4 in July, with 14 units sold, but it's still #6 YTD, behind the Nissan Leaf and Volvo V60 Plug-In, both racing neck to neck for the #4 position.
Two newcomers deserve a mention, the chinese brand BYD registered 19 e6's (Let me guess: Taxi fleet deal?) and VW registered its first 5 e-Golf's, this could be one of the markets where the german best-seller should be most successful, even the leadership could be in its sights...
