Zoe #1 in half full, half empty market
The 227 units registered last month were the second best result of the year, with the EV Share growing to a year best score of 0.55%, so in isolation it looks that the market is going forward, until you realise that the same month last year there were 648 units...And the YTD tally was counting 3.110 units. True, last year sales were inflated by fiscal changes, so it wouldn't be fair to compare different realities, but comparing 2016 sales with 2014, sales are still down 15%. Mmmm...
The top two models concentrate 64% of sales, with the Renault Zoe leading with 477 units and 43% share, followed by the BMW i3 (232 units, 21%), which registered 34 units in November, all full-electrics, while the Third Place is being disputed by the Tesla siblings, with the Model X beating its Model S older brother by 59 to 58 (A first in any YTD ranking).
Looking at the rest of the models ranking, only two other models register two digit sales, with the Nissan e-NV200 / Evalia twins jumping to #6, thanks to a year best 14 units, while the recent Mercedes GLC350e is ready to have a shot at the PHEV Best Seller trophy, now that is only five units from the class leader, the Mercedes C350e.
