Diesel is voltooid verleden tijd, en dat hebben de constructeurs ook door. Bij de Peugeot 208 verwachten ze een pak meer electrische verkopen dan diesel....het gros zal echter nog puretech benzine zijn.

De dieselversie wordt aangeboden omwille van fiscaliteit in bepaalde landen. Maar als dat niet was, werd die gewoon niet ontwikkeld.

Ook door de coronacrisis daalde de algemene autoverkoop in Frankrijk met -72%. (Frankrijk was ooit een typisch dieselland...)

Maar de stekkerwagens kenden toch een ferme groei. En moesten de wachttijden niet zolang zijn was de groei wellicht nog groter dan +19%, voor PHEV en BEV gelijk.

Tesla Model 3 Best Selling Foreigner in pandemic-affected market

With the overall French market crumbling (-72%!) due to the Coronavirus lockdown, returning to registrations levels (62,668 units) not seen in the past 50 years, one would think that plugins would suffer too, right?

The answer to that is Yes and No...

Yes, the French plugin passenger car market grew just 19%, when in previous months was experiencing 3-digit growth rates;

And No, because when the overall market falls off a cliff, like last month, having any kind of growth rate is positive, let alone with an immense 19% growth...

Funny enough, both powertrains had the same behaviour, with BEVs and PHEVs growing 19% each.

The positive plugin performance, added to the steep drop of the overall market meant that last month market share rose to 12% (8.8% for BEVs alone), pulling the 2020 PEV share to 9.7%, well above of the 2.8% of 2019.

Looking at last month Best Sellers, the French Fest continues, with 4 domestic models in the Top 5, with the leader Renault Zoe delivering just 1,744 units in March, possibly definetely harmed by the lockdown measures.

The Tesla Model 3 was last month runner-up and the only foreigner in this Top 5, with 1,385 deliveries, which is the best score ever by a foreign plugin in French lands.

Why is this important? In this domestic-made friendly market, being the Best Foreigner while at the same time running with the best of the locals is a big deal, in the US, it would be like if say, the Nissan Leaf all of the sudden scored 7,000 units in one month, beating the Chevy Bolt and running at the same pace as the Tesla Model 3...

"But that's impossible!..." - I hear you say. My point exacly.

The remaining top positions went to PSA models, but the most surprising result shows up just behind the Top 5, with the Mini Cooper Electric scoring 179 units in its first full sales month!

En na de coronacrisis (hout vasthouden) gaat de mentaliteit nog meer veranderen richting propere wagens...
