"BIG IN GERMANY"
 
Springtime Records -Deutsch Edition

The 2.076 EV's sold this March were a new record for the German EV Market, with YTD sales now at 4.444 units, doubling last year result in the same period.

Looking at the monthly ranking, plenty of surprises, as always, the Niisan Leaf made a smash result, by selling 409 units, beating a record that lasted since the 2012 Twizy fever, while also winning again the Monthly Best Seller Trophy after a 19 month hiatus.

The #2 Mitsu Outlander PHEV sold 243 units, its best result since last May, while the #3 Tesla Model S also hit a record, never before had the american car sold so much in a single month here, but 211 units are also a respectable performance in the highly competitive full-size-luxury-sport-sedan German General Ranking, to put this result in context, the Merc CLS sold 532 units last month, the #2 Audi A7 sold 426, while the BMW 6-series sold only 12 more units (223) than the Tesla. As for the Panamera, is was behind the Model S, with 153 units...
