"Wait for me! Wait for me!..."


Underdogs Edition

Some 2.600 units were sold last month, up only 41% YoY, with two underperforming EV's recovering their mojo:

- The Nissan Leaf sold 338 units, its best performance in five months, rising to #4 in August general ranking (#7 YTD), staying only behind the all mighty e-Golf in the EV ranking;

- The BMW i3 had second best month ever, with 296 units, only behind the 336 units sold in March '14, enabling it to reach a podium seat in August EV ranking and climb two positions to #7 in the YTD chart, surpassing the Renault Zoe and VW e-Up! and thus making it the new Best Selling plug-in small car;

In the rest of the YTD ranking, the Golf GTE continues to climb positions, it is now up one position to #5, switching places with the Audi A3 e-Tron.

The Soul EV sold 84 units and could sell more, only Kia's norwegian importer has been hampered with small quotas, leading to lots of grey imports from other markets. 

Looking at the manufacturers ranking, the leader VW is stable at 38% share, followed by Tesla (14%) and Nissan (11%), in the remaining podium places.
