BMW i3 Shines
If temperatures across Romania have been falling, the local EV market is hotter like never before, with December signaling another record month for plug-ins, with 47 units, pulling the 2016 sales to 172 units, up 142% YoY. True, the starting base is small, but growth is always good, right?
With the EV Share at a record 0.18%, 2016 can be considered Year One for plug-ins in Romania.

These positive results are mostly due to the BMW i3, which had a superb December month, with a record 23 deliveries, pulling it to the leadership position, followed another BMW, the X5 SUV, with 21 units, while the Mercedes GLE500e ended in Third, this being its first podium position anywhere.
In a market strongly driven by SUV's, it is telling that the Tesla Model X outsold its Model S sibling by 7 to 3, despite having arrived only four months ago, meaning that Tesla driving force for growth in this market will be its Sports-SUV.
In the manufacturers ranking, BMW and Mercedes are the only two relevant brands, with the first winning (First manufacturers title here) with a mammoth 47% share, while the second has 22%. The distant Third Placed is Renault, with only 9% share.
