Tesla Wins Austria
157 new EV's were registered in Austria last month, down 12% regarding the same month last year, with YTD sales (2.116 units) up only 29% regarding the previous year, with the EV Share ending 2015 at 0.69% (Last year it was 0.54%).
Looking at the models ranking, the Tesla Model S is the new undisputed king of the EV ranking, with 23% share and 492 units, 23% above the previous record set last year by the Renault Zoe (387 sales).
But what about Tesla's real competition? All of them are still high above the Californian, with the Audi A6 and BMW 5-Series in the four-digit area and the Merc E-Class with double the sales. A lot of room to grown here...
Looking at the remaining front runner seats, this year the Renault Zoe was beaten by the BMW i3 Arch-Rival, which ended in Second, while in Fourth we have a surprise, with the Kia Soul EV surpassing the Nissan Leaf in the last months of the year.
In the manufacturers ranking, Tesla won its first title (23% Share), with last year winner, Renault, dropping to Second Place (17%), followed by an increasingly menacing BMW in Third (16%, up 1%).
Looking into 2016, the growth will continue on a moderate pace, losing ground to neighboring countries (Switzerland...), if the 3.000 units are achieved by 31st December, 2016, it will be considered a good year.
