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

Love it or hate it, one can't deny its importance

Leaf almost reaching the Quarter Million

Here the news are the rise-and-rise of the Model S, now in Second Place, although miles behind the e-mobility leader Nissan Leaf (Almost 250k!), with the Outlander PHEV also climbing two positions to #4 (And over 100.000 units).

The Toyota Prius Plug-In is still Fifth, despite being in runnout-mode for a while and it will still be there for a while, as the #6, the BYD Qin, is still some 17.000 units behind.

Sometimes we forget that despite being a rather weak plug-in, the Prius PHEV experienced tremendous success in the past and its second generation will probably do so as well, so its best not to rule out Toyota from the big EV players just yet.

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

Remember when these little buggers were Best Selling EV's in China?

The times they are a changin

There was an important change in the leadership, with the Chery QQ3 EV dropping three positions to #4 with the BYD Qin doing the opposite path, from Fourth to First, this is a symptom of the seismic changes happening in the Chinese EV market, with more regular cars taking taking over the top positions.

Besides the Chery, the Kandi K10 still shows up in #5, but it won't be for long, as the BYD e6, JAC i EV and SAIC Rowe e550 are all less than 1.000 units behind, all selling selling at much greater speed than the tiny two-seater, so it will be a question of time until both the Chery and Kandi models are replaced by two of those three models.

Pl	Model	Sales
1	BYD Qin	58.947
2	BYD Tang	40.541
3	BAIC E-Series	35.275
4	Chery QQ3 EV	26.756
5	Kandi K10 EV	25.590
