Balanced Edition
Only BEV's are available for the moment, but nevertheless, they are enough to put the Austrian EV market ahead of last year (507 vs 501 in '14, with BEV and PHEV combined), so this is another market set for growth this year.
The Renault Zoe was the Fourth Monthly Best Seller of the year (The previous were e-Golf, i3 and Leaf), but last years leader is now only #4, one unit behind the #3 e-Golf and not far away from the top two, Leaf and Model S, which are also separated by the minimum margin, so a lot can still happen here.
Looking at the manufacturers ranking, the top spots are also pretty balanced, with Nissan in the lead (21%), followed closely by Tesla (19%) and VW (Also 19%).
