Belgium March 2014

Springtime Records - Chapter Six

Thank you to Piet for the contribution on this EV ranking.

A new record was set in Belgium, with 252 plug-ins sold in March, increasing the EV Share to 0,37%, a great result considering there's no governmental incentives to buy EV's here.

The Tesla Model S was the winner of the month, with 81 registrations (Personal Best) and #2 in March was the surprising Nissan Leaf, scoring 49 sales, also a personal best, something that the #3 BMW i3 also did, selling 46 units.

There was a leadership change in the YTD ranking, with the Model S climbing to #1, followed by the BMW i3, relegating the former leader Panamera Plug-In to #3.

The Nissan Leaf climbed two positions to #4 and it's now putting pressure on Porsche, while last year leader, the Volvo V60 Plug-In, is in a distant #5.

Looking at the brands ranking, Tesla jumped to #1 with 25% share, followed by BMW (17%) and Porsche (13%).
