Tough life for these two EV's

It Finally Happened

In June there were 2.998 EV's sold, up 17% YoY, with the EV Share slightly down to 28,7%, the strongest reason for this slowdown in sales has to do with buyers holding off for the increased range BEV's, coming in the last quarter of the year.

The recent slowdown in the BEV front (Down 38%) was counterbalanced by the recent PHEV surge (Up 140%), and that is reflected in the EV monthly models ranking, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV (504 units) was once again the Monthly Best Seller, the third fourth fifth consecutive time that a plug-in hybrid wins that honor, with the remaining podium positions also belonging to PHEV's: The VW Golf GTE was Second, with 412 units, followed by its larger GTE relative, the Passat, with 294 units.

The VW e-Golf is back to the downward trend, with 279 units registered, its worst performance since 2014. A case of buyers waiting for the upcoming longer-range version, or are the GTE brethrens cannibalizing sales?

Looking at the Year-to-date EV ranking, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV has finally risen to the First Place, a first for a PHEV in Norway, displacing the VW e-Golf to Second, after 18 months of leadership(!)

The Tesla Model S (43 units, worst result in 20 months) stumbled two positions to #7 to the benefit of the VW Passat GTE, that climbed the same two positions to #5.

A final reference to the Luxury SUV race, the current leader is the BMW X5 PHEV, #12 with 672 units, followed by the Volvo XC90 PHEV, 171 units behind, with the remaining competition far behind these two, the race should be confined to these two, but the Audi Q7 e-Tron had 68 sales in its first full sales month, if these numbers are confirmed with other good performances in the future, Audi's big wagon-on-stilts SUV might still surprise the aforementioned two.

Looking at the manufacturers ranking, Volkswagen (31%) continues in the lead, followed now by Mitsubishi (14%), that displaced Nissan (13%, down 1%) from the Second Place.

Models breakdown by Fuel Source

The percentage of plug-ins in the general ranking is so significant, that we've decided to make a separate table for the breakdown of models by fuel source:

With 29% share, the EV's performance in the general ranking is increasingly more relevant, of the 972 units sold by the leader VW Golf in July, only 281, or 29%, didn't had a Plug.

If we split models by fuel source, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV was the best selling model, outselling the Golf GTE and the Skoda Octavia (BTW, when will we have a PHEV Octavia, Skoda?), with another PHEV, the VW Passat GTE, in #4, making it three plug-in hybrids in the Top 4 positions.

The remaining two Plug-ins in the Top 10 were BEV's, in #6 we have the VW e-Golf, only two units behind the regular ICE versions of the VW Golf, while in #10 the Nissan Leaf makes itself noticed.

Tough life for these two EV's

Outlander PHEV knocks on the Leadership door

In June there were 3.693 EV's sold, down 2% YoY, with the EV Share slightly down to 28,9%, the strongest reason for this slowdown in sales has to do with buyers holding off for the increased range BEV's, coming in the last quarter of the year.

Looking at the EV monthly models ranking, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV (521 units) was once again the Monthly Best Seller, the second third fourth consecutive time a plug-in hybrid wins that honor, but this month the rest of the Top 5 ranking is all BEV: The Renault Zoe did its best performance in a year, collecting 398 deliveries, the Nissan Leaf collected another podium position, with 318 units, since the beginning of the year, the Japanese hatch has always been between Second and Third Place, an impressive regularity.

The VW e-Golf has finally broken the downward trend, up 5 units regarding May, with 305 units registered, with the Tesla Model S rounding up the podium in Fifth, with 284 units, a rather disappointing performance by the Californian, considering that in June 2015 it had 566 deliveries...Are people already waiting for the Model X?

Looking at the Year-to-date EV ranking, the main news are the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV edging closer to the First Position, with only 16 units separating it from the VW e-Golf, it won't be surprising that the japanese SUV reaches soon the First Position, which will be a first for a PHEV in Norway.

The Tesla Model S rose to #5 and the VW Passat GTE to #7, while the Renault Zoe jumped three positions to #6.

Looking at the manufacturers ranking, Volkswagen (31%, down 1%) continues in the lead, followed at a distance by Nissan (14%) and Mitsubishi (14%, up 1%).

If we split models by fuel source, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV was the best selling model, outselling the Golf ICE and the Toyota Auris.

The remaining four Plug-ins in the Top 10 were all BEV's, in #4 we have the Renault Zoe, outselling the Toyota Yaris and becoming the Best Selling model in its class, the remaining three plug-ins are at the bottom of this Top 10: In #8 we have the Nissan Leaf, in #9 we have the VW e-Golf and in #10 we have the Tesla Model S.

Tough life for these two EV's

The Rise and Rise of PHEV's Edition

In May there were 3.340 EV's sold, up 23% YoY, with the EV Share slightly down to 29,3%, with the bulk of growth coming from PHEV's, which have grown 132% YoY, while on the same period, BEV's have seen their sales drop by 24%.

Have Norwegians suddenly converted to PHEV's?

I believe the strongest reason for this has to do with buyers holding off for the increased range BEV's, coming in the last quarter of the year, so expect for BEV's to continue dropping until then, followed by record months later in the year.

Looking at the EV monthly models ranking, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV (490 units) was once again the Monthly Best Seller, the second third consecutive time a plug-in hybrid wins that honor, with two other PHEV's appearing in the ranking: The Passat GTE was Third with 313 units, while its smaller relative, the VW Golf GTE, was Fifth with 268 units.

The VW e-Golf continues on the downward trend, with 300 units registered, less than half (606) of what registered twelve months ago, the improved range is still a few months away, so expect this slowing sales trend to continue throughout the year.

Looking at the Year-to-date EV ranking, the main news were Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV reaching the Second Position, pushing the Nissan Leaf to Third Place, at this pace it won't be surprising that the japanese SUV reaches soon the First Position, which would be something unheard of for a PHEV in Norway.

A special mention for the good numbers presented by two Mercedes: The B250e registered 167 units (Year Best), jumping three positions to #10, while the GLC350e registered 161 units right in its second month in the market, leaving good indications that the Three-Pointed-Star automaker might have a winner here.

Looking at the manufacturers ranking, Volkswagen (32%) continues in the lead, followed at a distance by Nissan (14%) and Mitsubishi (13%, up 1%), while BMW (11%) on the lookout for a slip from the adversaries to join the podium.

PHEV's on the Rise Edition

In April there were 4.255 EV's sold, up 61% YoY, with the EV Share stable at 30%, with the bulk of growth coming from PHEV's, which have seen their importance grow from 25% last year to 42% right now, and it wouldn't be surprising to see PHEV's grow to over 50% before year end.
  
Underlining the previous thoughts, and looking exclusively at the EV monthly models ranking, the VW Golf GTE (602 units, new pb) has won the Monthly Best Selling title, the second consecutive time a plug-in hybrid wins that honor, with two other PHEV's appearing in the ranking: The Outlander PHEV was Third with 507 units, while the VW Passat GTE had a best ever score of 361 units and promises to be one of the surprises of this year.

The disappointment of the month was the VW e-Golf, the 489 units registered were its worst result in 16 months, a sign that middle-of-the-road buyers are returning to the Leaf and/or shifting to the plug-in hybrid GTE?

A special mention for the good numbers of the BMW 225xe Active Tourer, with 147 units, its best month to date, allowing it to climb one position to #18.

Looking at the manufacturers ranking, Volkswagen (32%, up 3%) continues in the lead, followed at a distance by Nissan (14%) and Mitsubishi (12%), with BMW (11%) on the lookout for a slip from the adversaries to join the podium.

A small note to Fuel Cells, two additional Hyundai ix35 FCEV were added, increasing the yearly tally to 7 registrations, 6 Hyundai ix35 FCEV and 1 Toyota Mirai, it looks that the japanese model didn't won much love in Norway. Is it the looks?

If we split models by fuel source, the VW Golf ICE just managed to be the best selling model in April, outselling the Golf GTE by 20 units, followed by the Nissan Leaf, Outlander PHEV and VW e-Golf, making 4 out of the Top 5 models wearing a plug. Not bad, eh?

But this is not all, in #9 we have the VW Passat GTE, which managed to outsell for the first time the number of regular Passat's.


ICE - Regular gas and diesel versions

Automotive News Norway March 2016 (Updated) - SIBEJO-



The Rise and Rise of Norway Edition

The record spree of the Norwegian EV market continues in its never ending trend, in March there were 4.684 EV's sold, up 24% YoY, with the EV Share growing yet again to 30%, with the bulk of growth coming from PHEV's, which have seen their share in the overall market grow from 5% last year to the current 12%.
  
Underlining the previous thoughts, and looking exclusively at the EV monthly models ranking, the surprising Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV (686 units, all-time record for a plug-in hybrid) has won the Monthly Best Selling title, a first for a plug-in hybrid, while the recovering Leaf has made it to Second Place, with 676 units, its best score in well over two years, with the VW e-Golf dropping to Third, almost being caught by its plug-in hybrid brother, the Golf GTE, that with 526 units, not only has beaten its previous record (362 units, last July), but came close (As in 14 units close) to surpass for the first time its all electric brethren.

The big disappointment of the month was the Tesla Model S, despite the 487 units registered, it ended the month only in Fifth, far from the outrageous performances of previous years (1.140 units in March '15, 1.493 units in March '14). Is Tesla getting too expensive for Norway, or are buyers there just waiting for the Model X?

Looking at the year to date EV ranking, the main news are the rise of the Golf GTE to #4, dropping the BMW i3 (A telling tale of the current market trend is that the Rex version is starting to gain traction) to #5, while last year runner-up, the Tesla Model S, climbed five positions to a more suitable Sixth Place, with the Kia Soul EV experiencing a good month, climbing three positions to #9.

A special mention for the good numbers of the VW Passat GTE, with 173 units, its best month to date, allowing it to climb four positions to #14

With 30% share, the EV's performance in the general ranking is becoming increasingly more relevant, of the 1.411 units sold by the leader VW Golf in March, only 345 didn't had a plug, meaning that 75% of all Golf's sold had plug-in capabilities.

If we split models by fuel source, the Outlander PHEV was the best selling model in March, followed by the Nissan Leaf and VW e-Golf, with the Golf GTE closing a 100% Plug-In Top 4 in the overall ranking.

But this is not all, after the #5 Toyota Auris, we have the Tesla Model S in #6, and a bit lower, the Renault Zoe in #9, making 6 plug-ins in the Top 10! Sooner than later, i will have to make an overall Top 10 ranking to follow all these EV's...

Looking at the manufacturers ranking, Volkswagen (29%, down 1%) continues in the lead, followed at a distance by Nissan (14%) and Mitsubishi (12%), with this last one replacing BMW in the lowest plce of the podium.
