Europe November 2013

The next contender for #1 in EV Europe
Newcomers - Euro Edition

Another sales record, with 9.941 units sold, making this the fourth straight month of growth for the European EV market, with four models selling in the four digit area, three of them recent additions: Besides the eversolid Nissan Leaf (#4 with 1.024 units), the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV went through the roof (2.736 units) thanks to dutch sales, the Volvo V60 Plug-In (1.330 units), also registered record sales and in third we have the Model S from Tesla with 1.133 units registered, also a new personal best. 

Besides those three models, there were two new EV's rising in the ranking, with the BMW i3 (408 units sold) now #13 YTD  and the VW e-Up! (437 units) joining the ranking at #17.

With all this increased competition, the Renault Zoe (632 units) was just fifth, maybe a prediction of what might be a difficult 2014.

The Smart Fortwo ED had another record month (435 units) and now that production constraints are over, it looks that the tiny two seater is steadily increasing performance on a monthly basis.

As a result of these new additions to the market, there's plenty of changes on the enlarged (Now Top 20) YTD Chart, with the two most significant being the Outlander PHEV coming out of nowhere to #6 and the Model S climbing yet another position to #8.

  1. Having a wide enough variety of EVs to warrant a top 20 list is quite a milestone!

  2. These numbers don't make sense.

    YTD per Octoer = 8458

    1024 sold in November, so YTD for November should be 8458 + 1024 = 9482. But the table shows 9833. Some calculation went wrong.

  3. The Leaf sales now include UK and other countries that weren't included in October, that explains the difference.
