France March 2015 (Updated)

Best Selling Foreigner (To date)

Grand Vitesse Edition 

More than 1.800 units were sold last month in the French EV market, a 73% improvement over the same month last year, allowing the EV Share to surpass the 2014 score (0,907% then vs 0,933 now), considering that the First Quarter is usually the slowest selling and new incentives are coming along, the French market is moving at full speed for a new Yearly Record, will we see it finally breach the 20.000 units?

Looking at the monthly best sellers, the leader Renault Zoe continues in good health, selling 579 units (279 last year), with the runner-up Nissan Leaf breaking its personal record (330 units), while the #4 Audi A3 e-Tron and #5 BMW i3 have beaten their personal records and the #6 Tesla Model S made its best result of the year (74 units), the american car is slowly showing up on the first positions, it will be entertaining the race between it, the Outlander PHEV and the germans (BMW i3, Audi A3 e-Tron and Golf GTE) for the Best Selling Foreign Car prize...

Other markets have already fallen to Nissan's van, so...

Looking at the brands ranking, Renault continues to own the lion's share of the market (49%), followed by Nissan (16%), with Volkswagen (6%) already showing up in Third as the best foreign brand.
