Czech Republic December 2015

Stormtrooper BMW i3 in Prague

BMW i3 Wins #1

The EV Market in Czech Republic has finally awaken, with 419 units sold this year, more than all previous years combined, pulling the EV Share to a respectable 0.18%, making this Year One for plug-ins in this market.

Looking at the models ranking, the BMW i3 ended the year in great share, registering 15 units, a personal best for the small hot hatch, and revalidating last year Best Seller title.

Teslas are a surprise here, reaching the runner-up position, followed by the VW e-Up! and Nissan Leaf.

Good performance by the #5 VW e-Golf, registering 33 units, for once leaving far behind its plug-in hybrid twin, the Golf GTE, which has only registered one unit...

In the brands ranking, BMW (27%) repeated its 2014 title, winning the laurels of believing in this market when everyone had given up up on it (2014). 

Volkswagen ended in Second, with 22% Share, followed by Nissan, with 16%.

An interesting stat that has been repeating in other markets is the fact that the only two regular hybrids that have outsold EV's are the Toyota Auris Hybrid and Yaris Hybrid, the same happens here and it makes you wonder how much would those two models sell if they had a plug...

Looking into 2016, i think numbers will continue to grow fast, maybe reaching 800 units/year, with the BMW i3 continuing to rule supreme, despite VAG efforts to reach it.

  1. Your note about the Toyota Auris and Yaris Hybrid sales and the potential of plug-in version is very wise. Here my Dad would want to buy a Yaris Hybrid for my mother and my sister, the only thing which is actually preventing him to do that is the absence of Plug-in version.
