Italy July 2013

The Renault Zoe crossed the Alps in April to become a major player there

Zoe sinks Edition

After 80 units sold in May and 45 in June, the Renault Zoe sales in Italy dropped to just 18 in July, helping the total EV sales to drop 46% regarding last month, totaling 100 units in July, albeit still enough to keep the EV share at 0,09%, 0,04% behind the 2012 score (0,13%).

The Nissan Leaf profited from the lowering form of the Zoe to consolidate its #2 in the YTD chart.

Looking at the brands ranking, Renault still rules with 58% share, but it has lost 19% share regarding '12, to major benefit of the second placed Nissan, up from 6% to 23%, and third placed Smart, up from 2% to 14%, by the way, Smart already sold 3 times more electric cars this year than it did in all 2012.

Thanks for Andrea and Luca (Greenstart) for the Ampera/Volt numbers update.
