Italy September 2013

A tiny, airy vehicle like the Twizy fits very well in Italy

Twizy Recovers Some Mojo Edition

After a terrible month of August (Just 52 units sold), italian EV sales bounced back to a more usual 96 units, with the Renault Twizy presenting the best sales result since last May, with 38 units, breaking two months of monthly leadership of the Nissan Leaf, which came in second with 33 units.

The last place in the podium went for the Renault Zoe, which sold 13 units, keeping the #4 Smart Fortwo ED at a safe distance.

Austria September 2013

A surprise here, the most common plug-in is the C-Zero, best selling car in '11

Zoe Still in Charge Edition

Total plug-in sales in Austria were 86, making September the third best month of the year and pulling the EV share to 0,21%, still far from the 0,30% hallmark of last year.

A rare event these days, the Renault Zoe topped the monthly ranking with 24 units, but the french model is also in a downward spiral here, being September the third month in a row of shrinking sales.

There were another three models to score two digit sales, the Nissan Leaf sold 17 units, the Model S from Tesla sold 14 (It's now #6 YTD) and the Renault Twizy registered 10 vehicles.

Finally we assist the landing of the Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid, with the first registration of a Porsche with a plug.
