BMW i8 Best Seller
Finally we have enough information to make a (small) ranking of EV Sales in Turkey.
Basically, this is a story written only by BMW and Renault, with their plug-ins making the complete ranking.
Basically, this is a story written only by BMW and Renault, with their plug-ins making the complete ranking.
An interesting fact is the success of the BMW i8 in Turkey, leading with 28 units registered this year, it might not sound much, especially in such a large market, but it's enough to lead not only the EV ranking, but also its sports car class, beating the 6-Series (All 3 bodies included) brethren and, most importantly, the Porsche 911, being one of the few markets where the Sports-car-golden-standard is outsold by the i8.
Interestingly, the German Sports car was also the 2015 Best Selling EV, with the much cheaper competition playing as also rans.
This year the Renault Zoe seems poised to take the BMW i3 from the runner-up position, so it will be interesting how the race between these two ends up.
Closing the ranking, we have the Renault Twizy, slowly making its way in the tourist-friendly cities.
