BMW i3 #1
The EV Market in Czech Republic is down 32%, with 166 units sold this year, with the EV Share down to 0.11% a significant drop from the 0.18% of 2015.
Looking at the models ranking, the BMW i3 is once again head and shoulders ahead of the competition, looking well positioned to win its third consecutive Best Seller title in 2016.
The surprise of the year, the Volvo XC90 T8 PHEV, is Second, confirming once again the good reception the Swedish plug-in SUV is receiving across Europe.
Good performances come across the BMW stable, with the X5 PHEV jumping to #5, the six-figures sports car BMW i8 maintaining an honorable Sixth Position, tied with another BMW, the 330e, which registered 4 units last month, a new personal best.
In the brands ranking, BMW (45%) has got this market covered since 2014, winning the laurels of believing in this market when no else one did, Nissan (12%) is Second, followed by Volkswagen and Volvo, both with 11% share.
Looking at regular hybrids, the Toyota hybrids are selling significantly more than plug-ins, with the Toyota Yaris Hybrid (29 units sold in July), Auris Hybrid (19) and the RAV4 hybrid (16) far a ahead of the best selling plug-ins, so a lot is still to be done here.
