Germany January 2014

Stuck in second gear Edition

With 818 plug-ins sold in January, the German EV market still hasn't grown the way it would be expected, just like a bicycle racer stuck in second gear.

The BMW i3 (229 units sold) failed yet again to remove Smart from #1, with the third spot going for the VW e-Up!, thus removing foreign brands from the podium.

  1. slight error in the chart, sum for January says 712, and s/b 818

  2. There is an error!!!
    The official website www.kba.de register 541 electric vehicles.
    712 is a wrong count.

  3. there is a typo in the total for the Twizy 25 --> 276

    I think the difference with KBA figures is because they consider as electric vehicles only highway-capable all-electric and range-extended (Ampera) vehicles

  4. Errors corrected, as for the kba data, they only consider pure electric cars, making it incomplete.
