Therefore, the BMW i3 is designed to reduce energy consumption, and its compact body and narrow tires enable it to further increase its mileage. BMW i3 sold 2520 vehicles in Europe in June, up 26% from may, and BMW i3 sales are expected to continue to grow in the future.

No. 5: Nissan Leaf

As an old electric car that has been on the market for more than 10 years, the Nissan leaf has been widely recognized by consumers all over the world for its excellent comprehensive performance, while the new generation of Nissan leaf has become younger in appearance.

The plug-in version of the Golf e-Golf, Volkswagen's best-selling model, did not lead sales in Europe, selling just 2246 in June and 12618 in the first half of the year. The reason why Golf e-Golf did not receive a good market feedback is related to Volkswagen's attitude towards electric cars, which did not seem to be the focus of its development, so it is normal for Volkswagen to obtain the above sales.

No. 7: modern Kona EV

June sales: 1816 vehicles

Sales in the first half of 2019: 11455

Although Korean cars have not been easy in the domestic car market in recent years, their progress in the field of new energy vehicles is obvious to all, from vigorously developing new energy vehicles to strongly competing for the global new energy market. a series of actions show the ambition of South Korean car companies in the field of new energy. Therefore, it is not surprising that Hyundai Kona EV sold 11455 vehicles in Europe in the first half of the year, making it seventh.

No. 8: Mini Countryman PHEV

June sales: 1181 vehicles

Sales in the first half of 2019: 7685

No. 9: Volvo XC60 T8 PHEV

June sales: 441 vehicles

Sales in the first half of 2019: 6879

As a PHEV model, Volvo XC60 T8 PHEV is inferior to Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV in Europe.

Well, last month Volvo XC60 T8 PHEV sold only 441cars in Europe, the only product in the top 10 that sold less than three digits in June. The reason for this achievement is related to the positioning of its products. Volvo XC60 T8 PHEV is positioned as a high-configuration model, but for rational European consumers, some gorgeous configurations are not necessary, so Volvo XC60 T8 PHEV is not well recognized by the market in Europe.

No. 10: Jaguar i-Pace

June sales: 1066 vehicles

Sales in the first half of 2019: 6703

As Jaguar's first mass-produced electric model, the official claim that Jaguar i-Pace is a very food-saving beast, DC fast charging mode, only need to recharge for a quarter of an hour to maintain 100km range. This time, Jaguar i-Pace quickly climbed to 10th place with sales of 1066 vehicles in June, and as of June 30, Jaguar i-Pace sales in Europe had reached 6701.

Judging from the overall sales volume of the European electric car market, European consumers' demand for new energy vehicles mostly lies in short-distance commutes within cities, so those products with small models sell better, while larger luxury brand electric cars do not have an advantage in the European market, which is completely contrary to the domestic market demand.
