Springtime Records - Italian Edition
The Italian EV Market ended March with a record 436 units sold and 847 YTD, with the EV Share scaling up to 0,20%, it seems that this market has started to gain traction and that the 2012 record (2.348 units) will finally be beaten.
The Top 5 had several changes regarding last month, with last year Best Seller Nissan Leaf (147 units, best result ever) jumping from Fifth to First, the Renault Zoe dropping one position to #2, while the new #3 is a surprise, with the Citröen C-Zero delivering 100 units! (Fleet deal?)
The BMW i3 also impresses, registering 71 units, its best result to date, but it remained in #4 YTD.
