Iceland July 2016



Iceland, EV Champion

It's not only in football (Or soccer for those across The Pond) that Iceland has something to teach to much larger nations, the Icelandic plug-in market has the Third highest EV share in the World, with 3%, ending July with 400 new plug-ins, 93% above the same period last year, with last month alone being responsible for 96 units, a new all-time record.

Looking at the models ranking, the Nissan Leaf holds on to the leadership, with 75 units, running ahead of a PHEV pack (Outlander PHEV, Passat GTE, Golf GTE and Volvo XC90 T8), all trying to reach the 2014 & 2013 Best Seller Nissan Leaf.

Looking at the remaining models, BEV's are selling below expectations, with the VW e-Golf in particular down significantly, having registered half of what had sold last year by this time. A case of internal competition from the GTE relatives?  

In the manufacturers ranking, Volkswagen is on the same pace as last year, leading (31%) comfortably, followed by Nissan (21%) and the Third Placed Mitsubishi (13%).

  1. The slowdown of e-Golf could also be related to the new version comming in autumn.
