Germany April 2014

Outlander PHEV: Surprise of the month

Springtime Records - And the Beat Goes On

Another record month in Germany, with 1.054 plug-ins sold (First time above 1.000 units), and with the introduction of the VW e-Golf right around the corner, sales will only go up, can this be a sign that this market is ready for the four-digits phase? For now the EV Share is at 0,33%, having improved 0,01% share regarding the month before.

The BMW i3 (274 units sold, personal best) was still #1, but the VW e-Up! came close (248 units, also personal best), with the third spot going surprisingly for the Mitsu Outlander PHEV, with 118 units, being the best foreign car, let's see if it can keep up the pace in the following months, if it does, we will have a surprise in our hands...

In the YTD chart the only relevant change is the positions switch between the Renault Zoe, now #5, and the Nissan Leaf, which has dropped to #6.

Looking at the manufacturers ranking, BMW is leader with 27% share, followed by Volkswagen (17%) and Renault (13%).
