| Tesla Model S is charging into the Leadership |
Models - 2015 All Over Again?
The global EV market continues to grow at rapid pace, with some 63.000 units delivered in August, representing a 66% growth YoY, with YTD sales now up 55%, we are headed for a total sales number of around 800.000 units.
In the models ranking, the Best Seller of the Month was again the Tesla Model S, thanks to 4.715 units, this was the third consecutive month that the sleek Sports Sedan won the Monthly Best Seller trophy, so this might turn out to be the same story as last year, with the Nissan Leaf leading the ranking during most of the year and then the Model S stealing it from the Japanese hatch in the final months.
Looking at the rest of the YTD ranking, the Renault Zoe stumbled to #8, because of the seasonal drop (Vacances time), while the #4 Outlander PHEV lost significant ground to the Chevrolet Volt, now in search for higher standings.

Looking outside the Top 10, there were a number of models pulling out brilliant performances last month, the BYD e5 recorded 1.961 units, a personal best, that allowed it to be #9, while the Zotye Cloud EV did even better, registering 2.116 units and rising to #8.
But this August headlining performance belonged to the Tesla Model X, that delivered 2.307 units, its best month to date, allowing it to climb to #7 in the Monthly ranking and #12 YTD, with 10.222 units. With less than 2.000 units separating it from the Top 10, it ispossible likely that we will see two Tesla's in the September ranking...

Manufacturers - BYD and Tesla, disruptive forces
BYD continues to be the Master In Command, in August it delivered another impressive result, with 10.691 units, while Tesla secured the Second Place, with more than 7.000 deliveries.
These two brands are pointed as the disruptive manufacturers of the EV market and September seems to confirm that, with all pointing to record-breaking performances (12k?) by both brands.
BMW is ambitiously hunting a weakened Nissan in the race for the last place of the podium, while Mitsubishi is losing positions every passing month, it is now #7, far from the Third spot won last year, having been surpassed by BAIC, that has been recording strong results and is now threatening the #5 Volkswagen.
The Beijing Chinese manufacturer is something of a Dark Horse, we don't hear a lot about it, but the truth is that it is the manufacturer that made the most progress regarding last year, climbing six positions, and is one of three brands that have already beaten last year result in 2016 (17k last year vs 22k now), with the others being BYD (62k vs 64k) and BMW (33k vs 34k).
With Chevrolet finally selling at decent levels, the American car maker is now biting Renault's Eighth Place, so we might see a change here soon.

Looking below the #10 Ford, we see SAIC Roewe, #11, edging just a little but closer, with 788 units separating it from Ford, this is another race to follow closely.
