235 EV's were sold in Belgium last month, half of what it sold in the previous month, but with YoY sales up 53%, it's more a case of seasonality (You know, Summertime...) than some kind of slowing down of sales.
The top places remain the same, but below the Top 5, things start to shake: The Outlander PHEV climbed one position to #6, switching places with the Nissan Leaf, which registered only 7 units, its worst showing in 14 months!
But there were more changes, the Audi A3 e-Tron broke its personal record by selling 25 units, surpassing at the same time the BMW i8 (7 units, worst result of the year), and reaching the Eighth Place, while the Mercedes B-Class ED is receiving a warm welcome here, selling a record 16 units and jumping three positions to #11, becoming the best selling rookie this year, ahead of its S500 PHEV sibling.
In the manufacturers ranking, everything remains the same, with Porsche leading (23%), followed by Tesla (21%) and BMW, with 16%.
