Here is the list of the best selling EVs in Ireland, in 2017 (doesn’t include used imports nor PHEVs : for the latter, [click here](https://www.irishevowners.ie/best-selling-irish-phevs-in-2017/)). A total of **622** new EVs have been sold during 2017, which makes this a record year. For total sales including imports and PHEVs, have a look [here.](https://www.irishevowners.ie/2017-irish-ev-sales-better-than-you-might-think/)

1. Nissan Leaf (**257 **units sold). Even if it is its last year of production, the favourite Irish EV kept its crown for another year.

2. Hyundai Ioniq Electric (**231**). It has proven to become quite popular, immediately.

3. Renault Zoé (**57**). Still relatively slow sales, but more than during the 3 previous years together ! The 40kwh battery and the demise of battery lease made a difference.

4. Tesla Model S (**36**). With the first (and only) Irish dealer, the luxury EV finally sells in double-digit numbers.

5. Tesla Model X (**14**). It’s the best selling Electric SUV in Ireland (it’s also the worse selling one)

6. BMW i3 (**12**). Awaiting for the facelift and the upcoming i3s version

7. Volkswagen E-Golf (**10**). It’s a Golf (so a good car) but an expensive one, and it struggles to compete with Leaf and Ioniq, whilst you can get a Premium i3 for barely more.

8. Nissan ENV-200 (**3**). The Leaf for the families, 24kwh battery pack. For 2018, the 40kwh battery pack will make this 5 to 7-seater much more attractive.

9. Renault Twizy (**1**). Unique, literally.
