Irish BEV Sales – June and first semester 2018
June is traditionally a very slow month for the Irish car market with just 1255 cars registered for...
This is another very good month for BEV sales, and once again thanks to the Nissan Leaf, totalling 112 registrations in August. Not only the popular hatchback accounts for 2 thirds of BEV registrations but is also in the Irish top 10 !
Leaf was Ireland’s 10th Best selling car in August !
BEVs accounted for a very impressive 2.8% of the total new car market. Note that besides the Leaf most BEVs are performing quite well. The Jaguar i-Pace is entering the market with 1 registration in August.
Used BEVs imports are still strong with 75 registration (+38.9% vs 2017), best month of the year 2018 so far.
The first Irish i-Pace has been registered last month
