Germany All-Time Top 5 (Until July '16)

Open to discussion

The BMW i3 is the current Top Dog in Germany, but despite the Top 3 being separated by less than 500 units and being surprises-heavy market, the longer term trends are much more stable, with the current leader BMW i3 already appearing in 2014 at #4, while the 2014 Smart Fortwo ED still inside this Top 5 in Third, just like the Renault Twizy, Second Then and Fourth now.

In a close second we have the current market darling, the Renault Zoe, looking to put the i3 leadership to the test, while in Fifth we have last year Best Seller, the Kia Soul EV.

A recurring trend, that was also happening in previous surveys, is small sized BEV cars prevailing over the rest of the competition.

UK All-Time Top 5 (Until July '16)

Outlander PHEV Kingdom

This was the market with largest time difference, as the last time i did this survey, it was December '13, and it shows, as at that time the Outlander PHEV fever had not yet landed and the Leaf was King, in fact, the Japanese hatch is the sole survivor of those seemingly archaeological times, when the Renaults Kangoo ZE and Twizy(!) were present.

Now, we have the BMW i3 in Third, with its Renault Zoe arch-rival running close, while in Fifth we already have the fleet-buyers new darling, the Mercedes C350e.

Pl	Model	Sales
1	Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV	23.496
2	Nissan Leaf	14.983
3	BMW i3	4.447
4	Renault Zoe	4.205
5	Mercedes C350e	3.148
