This is what an EV Concentration looks like in Ireland

Leaf Edition

The seasonal Irish EV market is growing steadily, with YTD sales up 23%, with the EV market share reaching 0.44%, already on par with last year result of 0.47%.

The local Golden Standard for EV's, the Nissan Leaf, had an additional 80 units registered last month,increasing its market share to a mammoth 66%, considering the amazing pace it is experiencing this year, will the japanese hatch beat the yearly record of 405 units before the year hits the second half? 

As for the other models in the market, the numbers are rather small, with two SUV's completing the podium, the Volvo XC90 PHEV struck a chord with local buyers and is Second with 41 units, while last year runner-up is now Third, with only 17 units.
