Europe April 2015 (Updated)

Zoe Edition

With some 11.500 units, the European EV market had its third best month ever and a 40% improvement over the same month last year.


Looking at the monthly models ranking, there was a surprise in April, with the Renault Zoe topping the chart for the first time this year, ending a three month consecutive lead from the Outlander PHEV, while the Nissan Leaf is back at the three digit area, with the increasingly menacing Audi A3 e-Tron (854 units, third consecutive personal best) now at #6, ready to join the Top 5 Club.

Looking at the YTD ranking, the headlines belong to the Renault Zoe, up two positions to #3, kicking the Model S out of the podium. In a curious note, the Top 4 best selling cars are the same as as last year and by the same order.

In other news, April was a positive month for Porsche, as both the Cayenne and the Panamera Plug-Ins climbed in the ranking, the first is now #12, while the second jumped two positions to #23.

Looking at the brands ranking, there were some significant changes: Volkswagen (17% Share) lost the leadership in favor of Mitsubishi (20%), while Nissan surpassed Renault and is now Third, only two points behind (15%) the german carmaker. Can this mean that VW's blitz early in the year is now fading?

  2. Thanks, Jose. I know this is very hard work. With the Outlander at an even 1700, I assume this is based on a number of estimates. Any insight into how you are estimating? (For this and other vehicles.)

    1. It's simple, the final numbers are the result of adding all the markets available in the european continent, but the real numbers should be a bit higher (5/10%), as there are markets (Particularly in eastern europe) where there is no detailed information on EV Sales.
