Plugin vehicles continue to rise in France, with last month’s plugin vehicle registrations ending at 45,883 units, divided between 30,213 BEVs and 15,670 PHEVs . The former jumped 34% year over year , while the latter were up by 35%.
Despite ending in the runner-up spot, the Peugeot e-208 was one of the highlights of the month, hitting a record result with 3,924 registrations. The e-208 was 40% of the total volume of the 208, which won September’s overall best seller title with all powertrains combined. Another surprise of the month was the robust performance from the Renault Twingo EV, which ended the month in 9th with 968 registrations, its best result in over a year.
Also, depending on how fast the production ramp-up occurs, the refreshed Tesla Model 3 could surprise towards the end of the year. If there are no hiccups, expect a surge in December, which might pull the sedan into the 4th position in the last month of the year. As a reminder, this could be an historical event — no other foreign brand has ever been ahead of the local heroes in France! On the other hand, if Peugeot does recover the leadership position, that would be its 3rd consecutive title.
The same can be said at the Renault–Nissan–Mitsubishi Alliance . If Renault had a good month, the remaining lineup hasn’t followed through.
