Germany December 2013

After the 2010 crown, Smart is again the Best Selling EV in Germany

Slow Lane Edition II

With 712 plug-ins sold in December, the German EV market still hasn't grown the way it would be expected, with the full year sales reaching 6.711 units, growing just 4% regarding the year before.

The BMW i3 (90 units sold) failed to reach three digit sales and ended the year in #5 YTD, with only one model to register decent sales, the Smart Fortwo ED, which deservedly earned the Best Selling EV title in Germany, selling twice as much as the #2 Renault Zoe.

The #3 was recovered near the finish line by the Nissan Leaf, relegating the Twizy to #4. 

Brandwise, Smart was also the winner with 32% share, followed by last year winner, Renault (28%) and in #3 we have Nissan (13%).

It's hard to predict sales for 2014, but i would go for some 10.000 units/year and (hopefully) the BMW i3 and VW e-Up!/e-Golf will increase sales and will start to outrun Smart.
