Models - Energi Brothers on the Attack
In the first four positions the #4 Prius Plug-In had record month and it's now less than 200 units behind Tesla's Model S, which should bounce back nest month.
Behind them a lot is going on: The Outlander PHEV, helped by its Euro landing, is in comeback mode and starting to look at Zoe's fifth place with envious eyes. Also ambitious is the #7 Ford C-Max Energi, improving every month (#4 this month), distancing itself from the Kangoo ZE and now searching for the two above, while its stablemate Fusion Energi climbs to #9. The Mitsu I-Miev, which has been losing steam lately, also loses the tenth place to a strong QQ3 EV from Chery.
Still not absent from this ranking, the Volvo V60 Plug-In achieved another brilliant #6 position in October. November might see it get to the Top 10...

Questions for November
1 - Which model will be #3 in November? Prius or Model S?
2 - Will the Outlander PHEV reach #5?
3 - Can the Fusion Energi reach #8?
4 - Will it be this time that the V60 Plug-In reaches the Top 10?
5 - Can Ford threaten the #7 of Mitsubishi?
The table is missing the figures for the Chinese PEVs, I know they are hard to find, but the top three selling plug-in through October were published yesterday here:

Emc2, Thanks for the tip, i'll update the chart AND make a new post just for China!
ReplyDeleteAre you sure of the sales data for Tesla? Why is October so low, when they manufacture over 2000 a month?
ReplyDeleteI've double checked my sources and the numbers are correct, except for the US sales, which are still estimates.
DeleteAs for the October poor numbers in Europe, my bet is that in November numbers will be stronger for Tesla.
