Outlander All The Way Edition
With 197 plug-ins, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV single-handily pulled this market from obscurity to a decent place in EV-land, with an EV Share big enough (0,20% share) to put to shame other markets, all this when only 8 units were registered in the previous year and the previous volume record was 24 units, set in 2012, making this Year One for EV's in New Zealand.
Following it, we have the Nissan Leaf in #2 with 37 sales this year, while the Holden Volt ended tied in #3 with the BMW i3, a car that promises to take the runner-up place from the Nissan hatch.
Not that it means a lot for the moment, due to previous low volumes, but Mitsubishi has won almost every Best-Seller trophy here (2010, 2011, 2013 and 2014), only letting escape the 2012 title for Nissan.
