Europe August 2015 (Updated)



First #1 Edition

More than 10.000 units were sold last month in the European EV market and still without the Belgium numbers, it's a 55% improvement YoY, so plug-ins continue in good health and con only get better, considering the last events.

Looking at the monthly models ranking, the big news is the first #1 of the VW Golf GTE, after several runner-up places (July, May and January), the PHEV hot-hatch has finally made it to Number One, benefiting from the upcoming skin-change of the Outlander PHEV (Only #5 with 938 units, worst performance in 19 months), but this Top 5 has one more surprise, thanks to a 400 unit fleet deal in Denmark, the BMW i3 jumps to #3 and performs a year best performance, this result is so good for the german hatch that we have to go back a year to see the i3 back in a podium seat.

Looking at the YTD ranking, thanks to some updates on the UK data, there are a number of changes to report, all below the top nine positions: the Kia Soul EV is now #10, jumping four positions, the Kangoo ZE and Nissan e-NV200 continue their close fight for #11 and the Best Selling LCV in the chart, with the frech now back in front, and the VW e-Up! drops three positions to #13.

On another good month for Mercedes, their PHEV offerings have positive results: the C350e jumps three positions to #16 and the S500e climbs two positions to #24, surpassing the Panamera Plug-In in the race for best selling F-segment EV.

Looking at the brands ranking, Volkswagen increased slightly the lead Europe's EV Manufacturers Throne (19%, +1%), followed by Mitsubishi (16%, -1%) and Renault, stable at 13%.

    1. Do you have August numbers for UK, Italy, Poland to, or do you estimates them?

      Delete
    2. For the total sales (for example for Tesla), do you have August numbers for UK, Italy and Poland, or do you made estimates?

      Delete
    3. I only used estimates for UK, the rest are real numbers, the UK is the usual black sheep in that aspect.

  2. Why do you still mix up BEV with PHV, like the Golf GTe and it's 150 horsepower petrol engine? This really is kind of misleading.

  3. Am I imagining some YoY growth of my beloved triplets (C-Zero, Ion, I-MiEV)?

  4. Where is the Citroen Berlingo EV?

    1. #31, just out of the ranking

      Delete
    2. So the Total means nothing, since not all vehicles are listed?

      Delete
    3. Nope, there are almost 50 models on sale in Europe, i have cutted it to 30 in order to keep this manageable without leaving any significant model (Except the #31 Berlingo EV :D)

  5. Don't want to be a pain, but I am tryingto understand what you say: do the totals of 10682 for Aug and 104730 for the year include all the models or only the 30 in the table? Thanks

  6. Volvo V60 Plug-In sold 2195 units in August? I think there is some typo error in the month table.
