Registrations were down 0.4% in August and minus 4% YTD. Some of the shifts in sales and ranking are extreme. Volvo leaps into second place from tenth while VW slumps down to seventh from first place. Incentives may be part of the reason as new environmentally friendly models arrive they prosper. But there is more to it. Many in the Netherlands seem to want the latest.
One new brand is Voyah from China which sells premium electric cars. It has two models sold here so far, the Dream and Free. Will they succeed? Hard to say but the premium market is a hard one to crack. I guess dreams are free although the dream may be about to end.
The best selling models for the year so far were the Tesla Y (9,939), Kia Niro (8,561), Volvo EX/XC40 (7,274), Volvo EX30 (7,187), Tesla 3 (5,998) and the Kia Picanto (5,339). The Lotus Emeya (see picture below) has arrived with ten sold so far. A four door Lotus?
