New Zealand October 2017

(Another) Record Month 


A best ever 136 plug-ins were sold last month, up 139% YoY, with the EV Share jumping to a record 0.8%.

Looking at the models ranking, the leadership is in the hands wheels of the usual Best Seller, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, with 214 units, but it is now threatened by the Hyundai Ioniq Electric, that registered 83 units last month, a new all-time high for any Plug-in in New Zealand, which is now only 33 units behind the Japanese SUV. Will we a see surprise change in December?

Another BEV on the rise is the VW e-Golf, now at #7, thanks to four deliveries.

In the Manufacturers ranking, the six times Best Selling Manufacturer Mitsubishi is in the lead, with 28% share, followed by Tesla (25%), but the rising star Hyundai is not that far off (23% share), so it will be an interesting race to follow in the next couple of months.

Comparing plug-ins with regular hybrids, we can see the results of a growing PEV market share, if in the past only the Outlander PHEV could compete with HEVs, and even then it was an occasional presence in the Top 5, now there are two plug-ins in the Top 5, with the Hyundai Ioniq BEV joining the Outlander PHEV and reaching the Second Place.

An interesting stat, is that while the BEV version of the Ioniq registered 83 units last month, the HEV version only did two. I think this says something on what people really want.

  2. It will be interesting to see if Nissan re enters the PEV market in New Zealand with the new Leaf.

  3. The Renault Zoe figures can't be right. Should be 40+

    1. According to MIA, it's just two: https://www.mia.org.nz/Portals/0/MIA-Sales%20Data/Vehicle%20Sales/EV/EV%20Stats%202017%20October%20YTD%20v2.pdf

      Do you have other source saying otherwise?

  4. The Zoe figures are correct for brand new sales but there are sales of near new used imports that can not be countered as new as they have already been countered in the country that they were first sold in. The same goes for the Leaf.

  5. I suppose that could be it. Re-sold new cars.

    This happens because the official Renault sells for $75k, and new parallel sells for $40k.

  6. Looking at the car listings, they quote ranges as low as 50km (as opposed to "new"), so these are officially 2nd hand.
