Vans Edition

The EV market in Spain registered 333 sales, down 39% YoY, and although YTD sales are up, with the EV Share at 0.36%, the fact is that the local market is cooling off as of lately, with buyers waiting for the new MOVEA incentives scheme to start, next January.

The Best Seller Of The Month was the Nissan Leaf, with 58 units, of which 20 of them were 2-seat Commercial Vans, delivered to the Seur company. 

This deal underlines the local importance of LCV's, also known as Vans, last month the Top 3 was heavily influenced by this this particular type of EV, with 35% of the #1 Leaf deliveries being 2-seater Vans, the Second Placed Renault Zoe also relying heavily on the LCV version (40%, or 23 units were 2-seaters), while the Third Placed Renault Kangoo ZE had 47 deliveries (Year best), all 100% Vans. In fact, 36% of all EV registrations last month were Vans...

In the YTD ranking, the Nissan Leaf took advantage of a weak month of the Outlander PHEV (17 units, worst result of the year), to reach closer at #1, with 18 units separating both, anything can happen in the race for the leadership.

The BMW i3 dropped two positions to #5, with the beneficiaries being the Renault Zoe, now #3, and the Renault Kangoo ZE, Fourth.

Another BMW dropping in the ranking, was the 225xe Act. Tourer, dropping to #13, to the benefit of yet another Renault, this time being the Twizy.

Final mention for the 5 Tesla Model X deliveries, which together with the 3 Model S registered last month was the best month ever for Tesla in Spain, with official Tesla presence in Spain soon to be a reality, expect the American manufacturer to finally take off.

On the manufacturers ranking, Nissan is in the leadership (21%), but Renault (20%, up 1%) is closing in and the Third Placed BMW (16%, down 1%) is dangerously close.
