Looking at the monthly ranking, the Monthly Best Seller award went to the BMW 330e, which set a new personal best, with 144 units sold.
Its stablemate 225xe Active Tourer performed a Year Best performance, with 80 units, but the headlining news of the month was the Third Place of the e-Golf, with 50 units (New pb), becoming the monthly best selling VW for the first time since...July '14, when the only plug-in VW's were the e-Up and e-Golf.
