World Top 20 December 2017
BAIC EC-Series is the 2017 Big Daddy
Thanks to record performances in the USA, Europe and especially China, the global PEV market had its best month ever in December, surpassing for the 170.000 units delivered, representing a 67% growth YoY, with 2017 ending with over 1.223.000 units, 58% above 2016, placing the global plug-in share at over 1%.
Thanks to the influence of the BEV-friendly China, BEVs were up 2% share in 2017, with the BEV/PHEV breakdown ending at 66% BEV vs 34% PHEV, the highest for all-electrics since 2011.

In the models ranking, the big news were the shooting for stardom of the BAIC EC-Series, with the little EV breaking successive monthly records in the second half of the year, and basically crashing on the Tesla Model S party....Adding a new Yearly record (78.000 units) to boot.
The Bronze medalist was also a surprise, with the Toyota Prius PHEV coming out of nowhere to win the last place of the podium, with 51.000 units, repeating the 2013 Bronze medal, at the time achieved with a 23.000 units score.
Looking only at December, one can say it was all about Tesla and the Chinese, with the first eight positions going all for them (BAIC EC-Series; Tesla Model S; Tesla Model X; Chery eQ; Wuling E100; JMC E200; BYD Song PHEV; BYD Qin PHEV).

A freak event or should Legacy OEMs start to freak out over this? Mmmm...
But back at the full year positions, last year winner Nissan Leaf was only Fourth this year, as the transition for the new generation took longer than previously thought.
Two models had reasons to be happy with their 2017 performances, the Tesla Model X almost doubled deliveries, and ended in Fifth Place, losing some of the Ugly Duckling fame it had on it. The Zhi dou D2 also had a bang up year, shooting for a Top 10 position last year.
Two new additions to the ranking showed up in the 2017 Top 10, with the BYD Song PHEV becoming the Rookie of the Year, by ending its first year in Ninth, while the Chevrolet Bolt, effectively a 2018 model, ended the year in Tenth, after a looong production ramp up.
As this is a Full Year Special Edition, we dig a little deeper, into the Top 20, where we can see that seven out of ten models come from China, but also three significant drops regarding 2016, with the Chevy Volt stumbling 8 positions to #12, while the Mitsu Outlander PHEV did even worse, falling 9 places to #14. Are competitors making wrinkles show on these models?
The BYD Qin PHEV, down from #9 to #17 has a diferent story to tell, as the model spent a big part of the year waiting for the revised version, that only started to charge ahead in the second half of the year.

Manufacturers - BYD wins title, but watch out for BAIC
Looking at December Best Selling manufacturers, there were five(!) manufacturers with five digit performances, something unthinkable 12 months ago, when basically only BYD and Tesla did those kind of stunts.
But looking at the full year numbers, no surprise at the top, with BYD winning the Manufacturers title for the third time in a row, with a record 109.000 units, but this time it had two other OEMs beating the 100k barrier, with BAIC just edging out Tesla and getting away with Silver in the last minute.
Beijing Auto's race to the top is nothing short of amazing, if in 2015 the maker was only #12, the following year it jumped to Fifth, and now Second...Will it go for Gold in 2018?
As for the Bavarian automaker BMW, the benefits from a strong (And extensive) lineup continue to be felt, with the German maker being by far the most successful Legacy OEM in the ranking.
Below these "Big Four", there is a big empty space separating them from the Best Selling Brand of the "B League", with Chevrolet having the most significant performance, jumping its deliveries to 54.000 units in 2017, allowing it to climb to #5 an important step above the #8 achieved in 2016, which was itself a positive step above from the #11 of 2015.
Nissan was only Sixth, suffering from the Sunset-mode of the Leaf I, while Toyota jumped to Seventh in 2017, its best standing since 2014.
Roewe also had reasons to smile, reaching a best ever Eighth Spot, same with Zhi Dou, in #10.
Looking to the places below the #10, there are an additional six Chinese brands, making half of the Top 20 having Chinese passport, with Changan performance being the most impressive, jumping from #28 to #15, While Hyundai also joined the Top 20 for the first time, in #20.

As for Mitsubishi, sales were down 17% YoY to 27.000 units, its worst performance since 2013, with the #18 spot being the worst position for the Japanese manufacturer ever since it started in 2009...Carlos Ghosn has a big job ahead at Mitsubishi.

Pick up Truck - The Chinese Dongfeng Rich EV (305 units) arrived just in time to replace the Mitsubishi Minicab Miev Truck (66 units) and continue the EV saga in the Pick-up market. Unless legacy OEMs wake up to this niche, Chinese carmakers will probably fill the void soon with a
