Porsche #1 Edition
With 329 EV's sold, it was the second-best ever month, doubling the result of twelve months ago and multiplying sixfold the number of sales, if we look back two years, so we can say that EV's are getting hotter in Belgium every passing month.
Looking at the models ranking, there was yet another leadership change in the YTD ranking (This year nobody could hold the leadership in two straight months), with the Porsche Cayenne Plug-In registering a new personal best (59 sales) and removing the Tesla Model S (Only 14 units, worst result of the year) from #1, while the #3 BMW i3 also improved its personal best, selling 59 units last month.
Next is another member of the Royalty, the Volvo V60 Plug-In holds on to #4, a bit below it, the Golf GTE rises to #8, all while at the bottom of the ranking the Merc 350e lands, a car that might have a word to say in this
In the manufacturers ranking, Porsche is now in the lead (21%), followed by BMW (19%), while Tesla drops two positions to Third (17%).
