Hot i3 Edition
This is currently one of the hottest markets in the world, with almost 600 new EV's being registered in Austria last month, up 166% YoY, with 3.846 units sold this year, placing the EV Share at a record 1.53%.
Looking at the models ranking, the Renault Zoe remained the leader in the YTD ranking, but the Best Seller in September was the BMW i3, scoring a best ever 152 registrations, while allowing it to climb to the Third Place, if the Renault Zoe seems too far away to be caught, the 33kWh version will likely allow the i3 to displace the Tesla Model S from Second Place.
Looking at the rest of the competition, the Mercedes B250e climbed to #6, but the main news belonged to the Tesla Model X, now #11 and looking for a Top 5 position.
