Used import registrations of electric vehicles continue to rise, with the best ever month for EVs ever in July.

A total of 67 used import Nissan Leafs were registered, up significantly from an already strong 50 units in June. 

Interestingly two used eGolfs also crossed the border – the first time they have been registered through the used import market. 

A BMW i3 and Outlander were also on July’s slate.

In June, joining the leaf was a single i3, a Kia Soul and a Nissan E-Nv200.

eGolf registers as new

The first of Volkswagen’s new eGolfs has shown in registration data, the first and only new pure-plug-in vehicle registered in the last three months since Renault’s Zoe landed earlier in the year.

In the plug-in hybrid space, the Mitsubishi Outlander had 11 units, followed by the Bmw i3 on 10.

Interestingly, the month saw the arrival of a large number of new, premium market plug-ins. The Mercedes-Benz C-Class landed with six units, a total of three Volvo XC90s were registered, as well as two BMW X5, a BMW 2-Series and an Audi A3.
