The market for electric cars in Japan is highly seasonal, and while U.S. sales are rebounding in the spring time, over in Japan it’s a different story. With just 985 EV or plug-in hybrids sold in April, Japan had its worst month for EV sales in two years. The Nissan Leaf led the way with […]
In one more Scandinavian electrified vehicle registrations report, Sweden shows its strong preference for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, especially the beautiful Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in, which takes the crown with a whopping 60% of the EV market. The only other car to break 10% market share was the Volvo V60 Plug-in Hybrid (14% market share). For January through April, […]
There’s no other way to say it — the Nissan Leaf crushed the competition in Denmark in April. It accounted for 68% of all electrified vehicle registrations. The Tesla Model S was a distant #2 with 12% of the market and the VW e-Up! was close behind it with 10% of the market. The remaining registrations can be counted […]
Rising to #1 yet again, the Nissan Leaf overtook the Tesla Model S last month in Norway, in terms of new electric and plug-in-hybrid-electric (PHE) car registrations. The Leaf actually topped the charts in January and February as well. It was only March that saw a big surge in registrations put the Tesla Model S at #1. Interestingly, […]
Following up on its top position in February, the Renault Zoe easily took #1 again in March. The Bollore Bluecar made a strong surge to take #2, rising from 0 registrations in February and 81 registrations in January to 194 registrations in March. The Nissan LEAF inched out the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV for #3. For the BMW i3, which […]
Thanks to a CleanTechnica reader, I now have a very reliable source for monthly plug-in car sales data from Sweden, one of the strongest plug-in car markets. The Swedish market is an interesting one, as it’s one of just a few countries in which plug-in hybrids beat out 100% electric cars. You can see that, […]
There’s a good chance you’ve heard about Tesla’s record-smashing sales in Norway in March. Well, now I’ve got the full breakdown of Norway’s electric car and plug-in hybrid electric car sales last month. (Note that you can change between March & YTD sales in the interactive chart above.) Obviously, the Tesla Model S crushed it […]
I recently figured out electric vehicle market share for 17 European countries, the US, and Japan for an ABB Conversations article I wrote (full disclosure: I am compensated by ABB for articles written on that site). The results are very interesting, in my opinion, so I figured I’d drop the charts in here as well. […]
There’s no denying it — the Dutch electric vehicle market is an interesting one. There was a surge in plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) sales at the end of 2013 because of an expiring incentive for PHEVs. Nonetheless, PHEVs continue to dominate Dutch EV sales. In both January and now February the Volvo V60 PHEV […]
After a month down at #3, the Renault Zoe (205 sales) rebounded to its normal position at #1 in France. Not far behind is the Renault Kangoo ZE (173 sales). The Zoe and Kangoo ZE sat high above all other vehicles in 2013. They look set for such domination again this year. The Nissan Leaf […]
Electric car supercountry Norway continued to go strong in February. Trumping the 1216 electric car sales it had in January, it added 1574 in February. Again, the Nissan Leaf topped the charts. Tesla Model S sales rebounded to put it pretty close behind at #2. And the BMW i3 climbed up to #3. The VW […]
Not surprisingly, the homegrown BMW i3 took the top spot in German electric car sales in February. It surged above its distant cousin, the Volkswagen e-Up!, but remains a handful of sales below the e-Up! in total 2014 sales. Another German-based car, the 2013-leading and January-leading smart electric drive, grabbed third place in February. The […]
Sweden’s electric car sales numbers are now in for February. The Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in held the #1 spot, but this month followed by the Nissan Leaf rather than the VW e-Up!. The e-Up! actually dropped to #6 in February. The Toyota Prius Plug-in barely snatched #3 from, just one sale ahead of the Volvo V60 […]
Wrapping up January 2014 electrified vehicle sales, below are the totals for Belgium. What’s the general story in Belgium? Well, it’s basically that Belgians buying electrified vehicles aren’t cautious about the money they are spending. Three high-end EVs top the sales chart. Tied for 4th is the world-leading Nissan Leaf and another relatively expensive EV, […]

Following up on my 2013 US EV sales report, 2013 Europe EV sales report, 2013 China EV sales report, and 2013 world EV sales report, here’s a 2013 EV sales report for Japan. It’s the last one for the year as a whole. Again, thanks to Jose Pontes for scrounging together the data. Clearly, the […]
First of all, let me note that these numbers below are not official and are surely a little imperfect (even more so than US EV sales numbers). However, they come from the most complete roundup of electrified vehicle (EV) sales I’ve seen. Frankly, I haven’t seen any other effort that tries to pull together EV […]
