"You can order the Medals" Edition
The Austrian EV market is back to the hundreds, this time there were 133 EV's sold, a 66% improvement over the same month last year, pulling the EV Share slightly up to 0,52%, which is twice the share of 2013 (0,26%).
Looking at the models ranking,the angry puppy i3 continues in the leadership, while last year leader Renault Zoe had a good sales month (46 units, second best performance of the year), apparently securing its current runner-up position from the #3 VW e-Up!, which also has its bronze medal well in its hands.
Below these three, things are a bit more spicy, with the Nissan Leaf slowly sneaking up to the #4 Tesla Model S (Only two units sold!) and the #6 Volvo V60 Plug-In all of the sudden having a sales burst (18 units), which has put it on the road to fight for the Fourth Position.
Looking into the manufacturers ranking, BMW and Renault are now tied (26% share), while VW continues in #3 (15%) and is waiting desperately for back-ups (Golf GTE and more e-Golf).
