New Zealand September 2017

Resultado de imagem para tesla model s in new zealand


Record Month 

A record 90 plug-ins were sold last month, doubling the result achieved in the same perriod last year, with the EV Share now at a record 0.6%.

Looking at the models ranking, the leadership is in the hand of the usual Best Seller, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, with 193 units, only four units behind the all-time yearly record that the Japanese SUV did in 2014. Will the Outlander PHEV reach more than 250 units by year end?

Three all electric models follow the Japanese model, with the Hyundai Ioniq Electric surpassing the Tesla Model S and earning the Silver Medal place, with 98 units, 19 of them last month, a new personal best for the Korean. Kudos to the local importer for getting enough units that allow it to shine here.

Looking below, we see a good start from the Mini Countryman PHEV, now in Seventh, and the VW e-Golf delivering six units in one month, a new personal best, no doubt helped by the new, longer range version. 

In the Manufacturers ranking, the six times Best Selling Manufacturer Mitsubishi is in the lead, with 30% share, but with Tesla not that far off (28% share), it will be an entretaining race to follow. 

In the race for Third Place, Hyundai (15%) is running ahead of BMW (11%), with the German carmaker having lost a few points share in the last couple of months.

Comparing plug-ins with regular hybrids, we can see the results of a growing PEV market share, if in the past only the Outlander PHEV could compete with HEVs, and even then it was an occasional presence in the Top 5, now there are two plug-ins in the Top 5, with the Hyundai Ioniq BEV joining the Outlander PHEV.

An interesting stat, is that while the BEV version of the Ioniq registered 19 units last month, the HEV only did four. I think this says something on what people really want.

  1. The New Zealand market is a bit unusual in that it is heavily reliant on used imported vehicles - mostly from Japan, but for EVs now also from the UK. Sri Lanka is the only other country that does this to any extent. For EVs, it means we can benefit from other countries' subsidies. For example a used 2016 30kWh Leaf costs around US$18K while a new 2017 PHEV Outlander costs US$42K. In the year to date 1429 used BEVs and 189 used PHEVs were imported, the vast majority (1230) being Nissan Leafs. If this keeps up the EV market share may exceed 1% for 2017. We love cars - 300,000 cars imported in the past 12 months - but we are only just learning to love EVs.

  2. Robert, you can only count new sales as the ones you talk about are used imports they have been already counted in some other country.
    Nissan need to start selling EV's in New Zealand.
