Switzerland July 2014

BMW Strikes Back Edition

After a couple of months outside the leadership, the i3 was again the Best Selling EV this July, with 41 units, reaching the #2 place of the Renault Zoe, now both are tied with 216 units sold this year, both behind the YTD leader (279 sales), the Tesla Model S.

In the rest of the ranking, we see the Opel Ampera (Just 4 units sold last month) stumbling two places to #7, a bad sign for the rest of the Ampera's life in Switzerland, one of the few markets where it still sells sold in decent numbers.

Looking at the manufacturers ranking, the race is hot, with Tesla in #2 (27% share), behind Renault (30%), with BMW (21%) slowly closing in on the top two.

France July 2014

Bolloré was the Star of The Month

Vacances Edition

After five months growing, the French EV Sales declined to 1.088 units sold, but there's nothing to be afraid, as July and August are slow months due to holiday periods. In fact, if we compare sales with a year ago, the numbers are up 12%...

The top two, Zoe and Kangoo ZE, were down inline with the market, but the #3 YTD Nissan Leaf had its worst month of the year (80 units), maybe Nissan sales force were busy with the new e-NV200 (69 registrations, #6 in July), who knows?

On the other hand, Bolloré had a bang up month, registering 171 sales (#2 in July) and consolidating it's #4 YTD, while the VW e-Up! broke its sales record, selling 73 units and climbing to the Top10.
