Tesla Model S Rises to #4
The Italian EV market had a positive September with up 56% to 235 units, placing YTD sales back to black, up 6% YoY.
Looking at the models ranking, if the Best Seller of the Month was the Nissan Leaf, thus cementing its leadership, the real news is the slow but certain climb of the Tesla Model S (28 units last month, personal best), now Fourth in the ranking, the highest place ever for the Freemont car, that has 173 units registered this year, close to the 194 delivered in the previous years...Combined.
Below in the ranking, the highlight goes for the BMW i3, up to #12, thanks to a year best 23 units, but it is still far from the Third spot earned last year.
Final mention to the good start of the Tesla Model X, delivering 7 units in its first month in the market.
Looking at the manufacturers ranking, BMW is in the lead, with 31% Share (Down 1%), followed by Nissan (17%, down 2%), with Renault (13%) replacing Volkswagen (11%) in the Third Spot.
