BMW i3 #1 in slow year
The EV Market in the Czech Republic was down 14% in 2016, with 362 units sold this year, with the EV Share down to 0.14%, a 0.04% drop from the 0.18% of 2015.
Looking at the models ranking, the BMW i3 won its third consecutive Best Seller title, profiting from the investment BMW made then.
In a distant Second Place was the Tesla Model S, followed by the Nissan Leaf, with the last year Bronze Medalist, the VW e-Up! ending just outside the podium, in Fourth, with 23 units.
Tied with the German hatch is the surprise of the year, the Volvo XC90 PHEV was also Fourth, confirming the popularity of the Swedish plug-in SUV in Europe.

Good performances came across the BMW stable, with the X5 PHEV ending in #6, tied with its 330e relative, while the six-figure sports car BMW i8 did an honorable Eighth Position, thus making four BMW's in the Top 10.
On the other side, all Volkswagen Group brands regressed, with two models in particular sinking: The VW e-Golf dropped from #5 and 33 registrations in 2015, to #14 with seven units, while the Audi A3 e-Tron did even worse, going from 28 sales in 2015 to just...one unit.

In the brands ranking, BMW (41% share) won another manufacturers title, its third since 2014, winning the laurels of believing in this market when no else one did, while behind it, a strange event happened, with Tesla ending in Second, with 50 units and 14% share, followed by Volkswagen and Nissan, both tied in Third with...49 units.
Looking at regular hybrids, this class Best Sellers are above plug-ins, with four Toyota hybrids (Auris H. - 41 units; RAV4 H. - 27; C-HR H. - 24; Yaris H. - 23) selling more in December than the best selling plug-in (i3 - 16 units).
