King Leaf - 2nd Edition
46 EV's were sold in Ireland last month, traditionally the second highest of the year, which puts the YTD sales at 180, just 2 behind the record year of 2012, when 182 plug-ins were sold. And there's still five months to improve the numbers...
The EV Share is now at 0,21%, well above the 0,08% recorded last year.
The Nissan Leaf continues to rule this market, with 84% share and 152 units sold. But now there is one car that can offer a little bit of a fight to the japanese hatch, with just a month and a half of sales, the Mitsu Outlander PHEV is already #2, with 12 units, being the first Plug-In Hybrid to have some kind of visibility in Ireland.
