We welcome a new market here on EV Sales, Slovenia, EV's have been around here since 2011 (The Mitsubishi I-Miev triplets were the pioneers) and despite a small but enthusiastic following, only this year sales started to reach significant numbers, 53 units were registered in the first six months of the year, which is already double the numbers of the previous sales record (27 units in 2012), which translates in an EV Share of 0,18%, a number that triples last year result (0,05%) and compares favorably with some established markets, like Spain (0,16%) or the neighboring Italy (0,17%).
Renault only recently started to sell EV's in Slovenia, but they are already ahead of the (small) pack, with the Zoe registering 17 units (Already beating the previous 16 units single-model record of the Citroen C-Zero in 2012) in the first half of the year, removing the Nissan Leaf from the leadership, but not all is bad news for the japanese car, the current 14 sales are already doubling the number of sales held last year.
The BMW i3 is another recent newcomer, it is now #3 and it could fight with the Alliance models for the leadership.
Last year Best Seller, Tesla Model S, is down to #4, selling only five units this year, half of what it did in the same period last year.
Plug-In Hybrids are relegated to the last places of the ranking, with the BMW i8 ahead of Opel Ampera and VW XL1.
