Ranking of 100% electric cars in Europe over the first 7 months of 2017
- In the first seven months of 2017, 79,610 units of electric cars were sold in Europe, which is 0.8% of the European market (29 countries) over the period. This is below 1% of the market, and still a far cry from the 10% announced by several manufacturers for 2020.
- The 100% electric car’s autonomy is considered too low by a majority of potential customers (despite the fact that the Citroën 2CV did not exceed 200 km of real autonomy in the 60's or 70's). The price is still considered too high and the number of charging stations in Europe inadequate.
- To a lesser extent, the limited number of available models can also negatively impact sales of these vehicles. However, it is observed that the number of 100% electric models will greatly increase as of 2019, with the introduction of over thirty totally new electric models by 2025 from the Volkswagen, Daimler and BMW groups alone. New regulations and new taxes on internal combustion engines will also encourage the acquisition of such vehicles.
- In the first seven months of 2017, the Renault Zoé was the market leader (18,739 sales), in front of the Nissan Leaf (12,189), BMW i3 (11,501), Tesla Model S (7,269), Tesla Model X (6,021) and VW e-Golf (4,159).
