Cayenne Plug-In Reaches (even) Closer to #1
Some 300 EV's were sold in Belgium last month, up 111% YoY, placing the EV Share at 0,75% and with YTD sales at 3.222 units, will we see sales reach 4.000 this year?
The two on the front continue their close run, the Tesla Model S (55 units) losing a bit more ground to the Porsche Cayenne Plug-In (72 sales), with the difference between both now at just
In the rest of the ranking, the Audi A3 e-Tron had its best selling month since it landed, registering 25 units, while the Nissan Leaf registered only one single unit, the worst performance in four years(!), allowing the Mitsu Outlander PHEV and the aforementioned A3 e-Tron to rise one position, to #6 and #7, respectively, dropping the japanese car to #8. The 30kWh version can't come soon enough...
Great landing by the BMW X5 PHEV, registering right away 17 units, already leaving its direct competitor Mercedes GLE500e far behind, with the Merc only registering one unit in its debut month.
In the manufacturers ranking, everything remains the same, with Porsche leading (24%), followed closely by Tesla (22%) and BMW in Third, with 15%.
