Spain September 2016

Cooling Market?

EV Sales stumbled into red last month in Spain, with 334 sales, down 13% YoY, and although YTD sales are still up a sensational 79% YoY,  with the EV Share at 0.36%, one wonders if this one of the first signs that the local EV market is beginning to cool off.

The Best Seller Of The Month was the leader Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, with 58 units, earning its first monthly trophy in four months, while at the same time its lead to 60 units over the #2 Nissan Leaf. 

In the remaining YTD ranking, the last place in the podium changed hands, with the BMW i3 displacing the Renault Zoe to #4, while another two BMW's had a good month, the X5 PHEV climbed to #8, removing the Volvo XC90 PHEV from the Luxury SUV leadership, and the 225xe Act. Tourer had a record month, with 18 units and shooting to #12.

Final reference to the 20 Tesla Model S registered this year, double of what it did in 2015, expect deliveries to grow significantly in the near future, as Tesla is finally set to arrive oficially this year in Spain.

On the manufacturers ranking, Nissan is in the leadership (21%), but Renault (19%, up 1%) is closing in and the new Third Placed BMW (17%) is relying on its strong lineup to reach the top.
