Netherlands August 2014 (Updated)


Roller Coaster Edition II

After a sales peak in April (2.256 units), the Dutch EV market continues to go down, in August there were only 984 sales, the worst month since January, dragging down the EV Share to 4,46%.

Looking at the models ranking, despite their weak sales performance, the Outlender PHEV and Volvo V60 Plug-In are still miles ahead of the competition, with the VW e-Up! weaker than usual, losing ground for the Tesla Model S, BMW i3 and Nissan Leaf.

A final note for the Ampera (Yes, it's still alive), selling 21 units this month, its best month of the year, pulling it back to #11. Opel's twin brother, the Chevrolet Volt, also had its best sales month of the year (6 sales), giving credit to some form of stock clearance in GM's home.
