Europe August 2014



German Accent Edition

With some 6.600 units sold and still without the Italian and Belgian numbers, the European EV market continues in good health, with sales up 55% regarding last year (4.253 units then).


Looking at the models ranking, the BMW i3 climbed to #3 at the expense of the Tesla Model S, which had another poor performance, selling just 460 units, stock issues or is Tesla getting back to reality?

The Renault Twizy climbed to #9, with the summer sales giving it a welcome boost, but the #11 VW E-Golf (#4 in August with 603 sales) has its tiny rear on target, looking to jump two positions next month.

Several position changes in the second half of the ranking, with both Opel Ampera and Panamera Plug-in climbing three positions (To #14 and #15, respectively), and Audi arriving fashionably late to the plug-in party, with its A3 e-Tron landing directly at #21, with 227 sales, not bad considering it only went on sale in its domestic market.

On the manufacturers ranking, Mitsubishi is comfortably in #1 with 21% share, followed by the Alliance partners, Nissan and Renault, both with 15%, but VW (#6 with 10% share) is rising fast, having been the Second Best Selling Brand last month.

    1. The MB B-Class is still in launch mode, so sales are still small, but you are right on one thing though, the next edition of the Europe article should grow to 30 models because of the recent arrivals (MB B-Class and S500 Plug-In, Cayenne Plug-In, Golf GTE, Soul EV, etc).
