Belgium September 2015

Two contestants, only one winner: Who will it be?

Cayenne Plug-In Closer to #1

312 EV's were sold in Belgium last month, up 117% YoY, placing the EV Share at 0,74% and YTD sales close to 3.000 units, already a 39% improvement over last year.

The two on the front continue their close run, the Tesla Model S (71 units) this time lost some ground to the Porsche Cayenne Plug-In, with the difference between both now at just 33 units.

In the rest of the ranking, the #4 Golf GTE had its worst selling month since it landed, registering only 8 units, allowing the Volvo V60 Plug-In to approach a little, but the real action happened in the second half of the ranking, with the Mercedes C350e climbing two positions to #17, the Nissan e-NV200 / Evalia also climbed two positions to #19, while the Kia Soul EV had a rare drop, losing three positions to #21, after having failed to deliver any unit last month.

In the manufacturers ranking, everything remains the same, with Porsche leading (24%, plus 1%), followed closely by Tesla (22%) and BMW, with 15%.
