Records Edition
More than 400 new EV's were registered in Austria last month, up 84% 87% YoY, with 1.667 units sold this year, last year record of 2.091 sales will probably fall in June(!) May, with the EV Share now at 1.52%.
Looking at the monthly models ranking, the Renault Zoe won its fourth consecutive Best Seller trophy, with 98 units, increasing its advance over the runner up Tesla Model S to over 100 units (349 vs 234), while the yearly record for a single model, set last year by the Californian (492 units), will probably be beaten by the french hatch as early as June...
This month the Tesla Model S was behind the Three Marys models (157 units for the BMW 5-Series, 150 for the Merc E-Class and 127 for the Audi A6), but expect the usual resurgence in June.
If Tesla didn't impressed in the general ranking, the BMW i8 (Eight units, best performance in 15 months) did just that, selling as much in April as its BMW 6-Series brethren (All body types included), the VW Scirocco or the Jaguar F-Type...Of course, reaching Porsche 911 (84 units) is still off-limits for the BMW sports car, but within the six-figure sports cars niche, the Bimmer is actually very well placed, with only the aforementioned 911 outselling it.

Looking at the rest of the competition, there weren't that many changes, with the main news being the three positions jump of the Renault Twizy, from #16 to #13, a sign that Spring and warmer weather is upon us.
In the manufacturers ranking, Renault is #1 (22% Share, up 1%), with Tesla (14%) losing the Second Place to Volkswagen (16%).
