Canada October 2014

For the First Time Edition

Another good month for the Canadian EV Market, with some 431 units sold, pulling the EV Share slightly up to 0,28%.

At the top, the Nissan Leaf finally won a monthly Best Seller Title, beating the Chevy Volt by six units, one should expect that the japanese hatch should repeat this title in the next few months, at least until the Volt 2.0 lands.

Looking at the BEV vs PHEV tally, pure electrics are gaining ground, having increased their share from 51% last year to the current 57%. Thank Nissan and Smart for that little gain, you pure electric lovers...

Denmark October 2014

The New Bronze Medal 

Record Edition

With 151 units sold, the Danish EV market set a new all-time record, beating the previous set last March (142( by nine units, this allowed the EV Share to jump to 0,70%, with the YTD now at 1.108 units, which is more or less the same number of EVs sold in the two previous years...Together!  

Looking at the models ranking, it was another easy win for the Leaf (70 units), the fourth in a row, while the Model S is suffering, selling only 7 units, its worst performance in the last 12 months, back then it was still in landing mode. First in Norway, now here, where is Tesla directing their sales, to put these market strongholds into starvation? Mmmm...Something is just not right.

The race for #3 had some action, with the BMW i3 registering 26 sales, with a majority of RExes for the first time, passing the VW e-Up! (21 units sold, personal best). 

Finally, the electric Golf had only one unit registered, which is far less than we come to expect from VW, especially regarding the positive performance of its little brother eUp!.
