A latecomer to plug-ins, Audi is looking to recover fast for the lost time

AUDI Edition

For the Sixth consecutive time, the German EV Market is above the 1.000 units score, registering 1.163 units, the second best result ever (The record is 1.345 units last May), pulling the EV Share to 0,40%, almost twice as best as last year result (0,23%), and the YTD numbers are already well above those achieved in the whole of 2013 (8.087 vs 6.749), confirming this as YEAR 1 of plug-ins in this market.

With several new launches, the german market is starting to be more diversified and complex to understand, but the main news is Audi arriving with a bang, with the A3 e-Tron jumping right away to the monthly leadership, with 227 units, the best landing ever in Germany.

The i3 this time was relegated to Second, selling just 151 units, its worst performance of the year, while the Renault Zoe was #3, with 108 units, followed by the Outlander PHEV (99 units) and next we have a VW gang: The Golf GTE landed with a bang (76 units), promising a bright future for this model, outselling their stablemates e-Golf and e-Up!.
