As the year enters its final quarter, Irish sales start to freeze, in this highly seasonal market, but ev's still behaved better than expected, 11 were sold in Ireland last month, representing a warm 0,64% share for plug-ins, placing the YTD EV Share at 0,27%, way above the 0,07% recorded last year, with total sales mounting up to 252 units, which is more than the two previous years combined!
This is Nissan Leaf dominion, with 188 units sold and 75% share, while the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is cementing its runner-up position, which is something to consider, in a predominantly BEV market (Pure electrics made up for 99% of the market until the arrival of the japanese SUV).
