Leaf back at Number One

Another month in the 200-something units in the Italian EV Market, with 1.469 sales registered half along the year, it's safe to say that 2012 record (2.348 units) will finally be beaten. The EV Share continues at 0,16%, a low number compared with other markets, but it's the best that this EV market has ever seen.

The Nissan Leaf recovered the YTD leadership, but with the R240 version coming soon, expect the Renault Zoe to respond next month and possibly remove (again) the japanese car from the leadership.

In other news, the Mercedes B-Class ED sold 50 units, earning it a surprising Monthly Leadership, a first for Mercedes anywhere in the world, allowing it to jump eight positions to #9, while the Tesla Model S had its best month ever in Italy, registering 22 units, rising three positions to #10.

The Golf GTE surpassed the Outlander PHEV, it's now #6 and the PHEV Best-Seller, and in a couple months the sporty german will probably reach a Top 5 position, something that is telling of the rising influence of plug-in hybrids here, if we look back at 2012, pure electrics represented 97% of the market, last year PHEV's reached 9% share and now that number has doubled to 18%.

Looking at the brands ranking, Renault continues in the lead, with 28% (3% less than in May), with Nissan in Second (18%) and BMW in Third, with the german carmaker registering 14% Share.
