BMW i3 Best Seller in October

193 new EV's were registered in Austria last month, with sales up 38% YoY and 1.740 units sold this year, last year record of 1.772 sales is on the verge of falling, another good sign for a healthy EV market, with the EV Share now at 0.66% (Last year it was 0.54%).

Looking at the models ranking, if the Tesla Model S reigns supreme on top of the yearly EV ranking, with 24% share, in October it only sold 36 units, being beaten by the BMW i3, which registered 52 units, its best performance in 15 months, ending a five time consecutive Best Selling streak of the Californian Sports Sedan.
 But what about Tesla's real competition? Last month the Audi A6, BMW 5-Series and Mercedes E-Class all outsold the Model S by a large margin, with the slowest selling of them being the Merc, selling 62 units...

Looking elsewhere, the Renault Zoe and the BMW i3, are reediting last year race, this time for the runner-up place, while the Kia Soul EV is running strong, looking to reach #4 until New Years eve.

A word for the BMW i8 performance, rising to #9, thanks to seven new registrations (Best result since February) and also a mention to the 2011 Austrian EV Best Seller, the Citröen C-Zero, experiencing something of a revival and rising to #18.

In the manufacturers ranking, Tesla remains First (24% Share), with Renault in Second (17%, up 1%), BMW in Third (15%, up 2%), Nissan in Fourth (11%) and VW Fifth (9%, down 2%)
