Premium Flavor Edition
This small EV market this year has been one of the few markets where plug-ins were down, with the usual major players, Renault and Nissan, selling less than expected.
But two Premium manufacturers are helping the market to turn around (September was the best sales month of the year), and at the same time break the Renault-Nissan Alliance domination, BMW sold ten i3 in Hong Kong last month, the best sales result made by anyone this year, while Tesla pulled its Model S to the YTD leadership, which is currently shared by a troika: Alongside the american Sports Sedan, we have also the BMW i3 and Nissan Leaf, all with 18 units sold.
Further down, the Renault Twizy is #4 with 13 sales, followed by the Mitsubishi Miev family, with the I-Miev, with 4 units and finally the Minicab Miev in #6 with 3.
