| The current ranking climber looks like this... |
Hurra! Edition
With more than 10.000 units sold in September, the European EV market had the best month of the year and the third best ever, only behind last November (10.565) and December (14.197), which were inflated by the fiscal changes in the Netherlands, so if we only consider regular months, this was best best month ever, while the YTD sales are already ahead of last year (69k vs 67k), so plug-ins are actually growing in Europe, despite what some might say...
Looking at the monthly models ranking, the top 5 is full of records and year bests, the leader Outlander PHEV had its best sales month of the year, the runner-up Leaf has made its best score ever, with 1.986 units (Sunderland assembly line is finally paying off), the #3 Zoe barely missed a personal best (1.343 vs 1.358 in June '13) and the BMW i3 had its third best score ever.

| 2 | Nissan Leaf | 1.986 | |
| 3 | Renault Zoe | 1.343 | |
| 4 | BMW i3 | 967 | |
| 5 | Tesla Model S | 748 |
On the YTD ranking, there's not really much to tell in the front seats, the VW e-Golf had something of an off month, selling just 336 units and being unable to reach the Top 10 yet.
A deserved mention to the BMW i8, #14 in September with 93 units and jumping four positions to #19 YTD, something to be regarded with respect, considering the type of car.
Finally, the Kia Soul EV jumps to #25 YTD (#13 in September with 107 units), which may actually consider that the South Korean automaker is investing for real in Plug-ins and wants to be a major player soon.
ps - Considering all the new arrivals, this is from now on a Top 30 Edition
