Outlander Edition 

Ending November countries roundup we have the japanese market, with 3.278 units sold, it's profiting from the sales of the Outlander PHEV (1.705 sales) are in full swing, rising 53% regarding last month, and 30% if we consider a year ago. The EV Share is now at 0,82%, the best score since last February.

Looking at the models ranking, the Nissan Leaf had a solid month (1.306 units), but it wasn't enough to steal the monthly #1 from the Outlander PHEV, the strong favorite for the 2014 crown

Fourth and third are separated by just two units in the YTD chart and with the #4 I-Miev losing every time for its stablemate Minicab Miev since June, December should crown the little LCV with the #4.

Looking at the brands ranking, Mitsubishi (43% share) is again breathing on Nissan's neck (44%), anticipating a thrilling fight in December between these two.
