Italy October 2013

Is this the first Plug-In Hybrid to succeed in Italy?

Twizy Again Edition

The Italian EV market grew for the second month on a row to 116 units, with the Renault Twizy (48 units) presenting the second best sales result of the year.

In second came the Nissan Leaf, with 25 units, enough to cement its #2 place in the YTD chart.

The surprising Volvo V60 Plug-In won the last place in the podium, with 15 units sold, beating the usual suspects Smart Fortwo ED and Renault Zoe, both having sold 12 units.

No changes in the YTD chart, with the exception of the rapid rise of the V60 in the ranking (It's now #6), leading to a curious fact: The swedish wagon only needed three months to beat the Opel Ampera (#7) as the Best Selling PHEV in Italy.

Will this be the first Plug-In Hybrid to sell significantly here? Only time will tell...
