 Keeping the positive note for the domestic models, the Peugeot iOn ended the month selling 94 units, allowing it a #6 in September, while its Citroen twin, the C-Zero, had its best performance in 16 months by registering 47 new cars. It looks that the gallic

    Is it possible that Mitsubishi hasn't sold even one i-MiEV in France? It has a bigger battery than the French twins (16 kWh vs 14,5 kWh) and is now cheaper (23.350 € vs 26.900 €). It's also available in LLD for 99 € month.

    Why don't they make Kangoo Z.E. available with R240 motor?

      They will make it available in Kangoo ZE and Twingo ZE in 2016. Traditional automakers are being dragged to electric cars, they don't want them, that's why they act so slow.

    Yo, Jose!

    I'm really sorry for the long absence, again. Bit too busy now. I have September sales, and I think importantly I sent you August sales a while ago, but I can't remember for the life of me where I sent that to you. I hope you still have it.

    Anyway, September was unimpressive. Boring and lacking. Same players, same performance but dulled down.

    The share is poor, and I would blame it to the 30kWh LEAF. The UK prices have already been announced (for a while now). And to my knowledge, the LEAF S or Visia is not that common. Yes, it should make the bulk of its sales, but more often that not do I see the flashy 17" rims on almost every LEAF I see go past. +170km range would seem to be well worth the wait (especially when everyone waits and buys for January, if the 30kWh gets here).

    So:

    16 EVs (inc. vans) = 0.33%
    4 PHEVs = 0.086%

    13 Nissan LEAFs
    2 Nissan e-NV200s
    2 BMW i3s (1 BEV / 1 REx)
    2 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEVs
    1 Audi A3 e-tron

    To add, September for the whole market was worse than August, but if my memory serves me, EVs performed better in September.

    Anyways, I hope that's enough to make you happy!
