France July 2015

Feeling Tired?

Vacances Edition 

Over 2.000 units were sold in the French EV market, up 82% YoY, thus pulling the EV Share to new record heights, it is now at 1.22%, slightly above the 1.19% of June.

Looking at the monthly models ranking, the Renault Zoe continues far above the competition (What a surprise!), with almost 700 units, followed by the standard runner-up Nissan Leaf (240 units).

In an edition with a larger number of estimates than usual, the VAG cousins should continue to impress, securing Top 5 positions in July.

3	Volkswagen Golf GTE e)	200
4	Renault Kangoo ZE e)	150
5	Audi A3 e-Tron e)	130

Looking at the YTD ranking, while the podium positions remain stable, the BMW i3 is closing in on the #6 Bolloré Blue Car, with only 39 units separating them, while the Smart Fortwo ED had a dismal performance last month, selling only 20 units (A third of what it had sold twelve months ago), losing two positions to #13, to the benefit of the Peugeot iOn, now #11 when two months ago was only #15, and the Goupil LCV.

In the manufacturers ranking, Renault is the Lord of the Throne (50% Share), followed at a distance by Nissan (12%) and Volkswagen (9%).
