World Top 20 December 2013 (Special Edition)



Models - Leaf has met his opponent

With a massive 28.000 plug-ins sold in December, the global market for electric cars continues to grow at a healthy rate, ending the year with more than 210.0000 units, with record sales from several models, like the Leaf (4.960 units), Outlander PHEV (6.887 units!), Volvo V60 Plug-In (2.004) or the Tesla Model S (2.803).

Looking at the full year ranking, the first position was for the Nissan Leaf with a record 47.549 units, followed by the Chevy Volt (28.252).

In #3 the Prius Plug-In finally won over Tesla's Model S, with a difference of just 989 units between them. 

Behind them we see the #5 Outlander PHEV, running at warp speed and being the only model to give Nissan a run for its money on the monthly ranking. This particular fight will go on in 2014, making the race for the Best Selling EV just a bit more interesting.

In Seventh YTD, the Volvo V60 Plug-In achieved yet another record in December, being with the Outlander the two biggest surprises of the year.

Because this is a full year edition, the ranking includes cars from #11 to #20, where we can see some interesting facts, like the Smart Fortwo ED in #13 and looking for a Top 10 position in '14, just like the #20 BMW i3, that has been slowly increasing sales. The e-Up! will surely feature in the Top 10, with strong initial sales (#8 in December) and still expanding to new markets.

Manufacturers - Mitsubishi #3

In the Manufacturers ranking, Mitsubishi is going from strength to strength, selling a record 7.042 units, climbing again and ending the year in #3.


Above it we've got Nissan in #1 with 23% share, followed from a far by #2 Chevrolet with 14% share. 

Tesla ended in #5 with 11% share, surpassed by Mitsubishi in December, but comfortably ahead of a troubled #6 Renault and a steady #7 Ford.

Looking below the #10 Smart, we assist two rising powers: VW in #13 and BMW in #14, both of them with Top 10 ambitions in 2014.
