Last April, the electric Fiat 500 pranced at the top of sales in France.
Rebelote in May, since the small Italian settles again at the top of the ranking of electric car sales in the country.
The electric Fiat 500 still at the top in France!
The year 2022 is off to a flying start for Fiat in France, particularly with regard to the electric Fiat 500, of which our full test can be found at this address. Indeed, the small city car achieved a historic record in France in May, since its launch at the end of 2020.
Over the past month, in a global market down by nearly 10%, the Fiat 500e has accumulated a total of 2,129 registrations (i.e. an increase of 152% compared to May 2021), which allows it to confirm its position as leader of the ranking in the category of electric cars. It should be noted that over the month, the share of electric vehicles represented 51% of the brand’s registrations.
The Fiat 500e (far) ahead of the competition
On the second step of the podium, we find the Peugeot e-208, which flows to 1,668 copies in France, followed closely by the Renault Twing EV and its 1,500 units sold. Next come the Renault ZOE (1,448), the Dacia Spring (1,357), but also the Peugeot 3008 PHEV, Renault Megane EV, electric Mini Cooper… Note the absence of the Tesla brand in the Top 20 over the month elapsed, the American firm currently going through significant difficulties.
In the first five months of 2022, 7,079 units of the new Fiat 500e have been registered in France. ” The small city car is therefore in second place on the podium for sales of 100% electric vehicles in France, ahead of its main competitor by just over 200 units. “, proudly announces the manufacturer.
He also explains that the “urban battery” range, allowing a range of 190 km (in the WLTP cycle), alone represented 40% of the model’s order mix at the end of May.
