| Austria: Next battle to breakdown the establishment? |
PHEV's Included Edition
Now with some PHEV data available, allows us to have a more complete picture of the current EV scene in Austria, last month sales were up 78%, with sales on track to beat last year result (1.772 units) and establish a new all time record, will we see it reach the 2.000 units?
Looking at the models ranking, the Model S saw its sales fall 60% regarding July, but still, the 42 units registered placed it above the Mercedes E-Class (41 units last month), placing the american car in Third on the E-Segment/Full Size class, only behind the BMW 5-Series (127 units) and Audi A6 (123). Not bad...
Looking elsewhere, the BMW i3 and Renault Zoe are continuing a long lasting race between the two, only this time is for #2 and the Nissan Leaf might still have a word on it.
The manufacturers ranking shows Tesla in First (25% Share), with Renault in Second (17%), and BMW in Third (14%), although the last place in the podium might soon change, as #4 Nissan (13%) and VW (12%) too close for the bavarian automaker to rest.
