| The Bimmer is doing OK in Spain |
Red Numbers Edition
If EV's are flourishing in Ireland, the Spanish panorama is much different, with just 111 units sold in the First Quarter and 0,05% EV Share, far from the 0,18% registered last year.
Only two models sold in the two digits area last month, the Nissan Leaf was #1 in March with 18 units, while the YTD leader, BMW i3, sold 10 units.
Horrible times for Renault, #2 in the manufacturers ranking with 24% share (21% less than last year), behind the surprise BMW (32%) and ahead of Nissan (#3 with 19% share).
As for the rest of the market, the numbers are really low, with the #4 Volvo V60 Plug-In collecting 13 sales and achieving the best selling Plug-In Hybrid title ahead of the #5 Panamera Plug-In (7 units). In a curious race, the Model S is #6 with 6 units and will be interesting to see if it can surpass the Porsche and win the High End Plug-In Sports Sedan duel.
Final mention for the #7, the Renault Zoe just sold four units this year and hasn't scored a two digit performance since last October, i'm sure those "Batteries Included" banners are eagerly awaited by Renault dealers...

Hello, Jose.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the continued hard work.
However, I'm a bit confused after looking at the data above and here (and from previous months): http://www.aniacam.com/datos/2014/03mar2014.php
According to the spreadsheet at that link, registrations for March & YTD were as follows:
Mitsubishi i-MiEV 46 57
Nissan Leaf 2 7
Renault Fluence ZE 0 1
smart electric drive 1 6
Chevy Volt 1 1
Opel Ampera 0 3
That's very different from what you have. And the YTD figures also diverge a lot from figures I've found in previous months this year. Any insight on this?
