Italy July 2014

The cutesy 500e finally arrived home

Smart Fortwo ED Climbs to Second Edition

In the YTD ranking, the top places are pretty leveled, with Nissan Leaf leading by just two units, followed closely by the Smart Fortwo ED (Up one position) and the Renault Twizy, while the #4 BMW i3 is closing in fast.

In other news, there's the symbolic arrival of the Fiat 500e, it's just a pilot experience from a carsharing company, but who knows these seminal units could result in a future proper landing for the italian BEV.

Spain July 2014

Caliente Edition

A whole 168 ev's were sold in Spain last month, which more than doubles the result of the same month in the previous year (78 units in July '13) and makes it the best selling month of the year.

The Renault Zoe sales were hot, with 41 registrations, a personal best for '14, climbing to #3 YTD, and allowing Renault to lead the brands ranking (28% vs 27% from Nissan).

The Leaf was second last month (30 units) and the BMW i3 third (29 sales, also personal best).

Final mention for the brilliant career of the Outlander PHEV, registering 27 units in July, climbing to #5 YTD and already being the best-selling PHEV in Spain. Will it bother the established front-runners? I wouldn't bet against it...
