Zoe #1 Edition
Despite an EV market up 78% YoY, the EV Share is still at 0.74%, with many consumers probably waiting for the incentives policy to be finally approved, maybe then the market share finally can reach the symbolic 1% barrier.
After the Kia Soul EV stealing the show in 2015, the German EV market is back at its usual self, with various candidates to Number One and several changes in the top positions, this time it was the Renault Zoe turn to seat at the Leader's Throne, but the local runners are really close, especially the VW Golf GTE (#2, 11 units behind) and BMW i3 (#3, 15 units less), so the french hatch has to keep a close eye on the rearview mirror, if it wants to keep the #1 position a little longer.
A special mention to the Audi Q7 e-Tron, now in full speed and registering 123 units, already leading the hot Luxury SUV segment and only 27 units behind the Outlander PHEV, so the SUV leadership might be near for Audi's Panzer.

Looking at the manufacturers ranking, Volkswagen continues in the Top Spot, with 20% share (Down 1%), followed by BMW (16%, down 2%) and in Third we now have Audi (13%), benefitting from a positive month of the A3 e-Tron and the aforementioned Q7's e-Tron push.
