Renault-Nissan approaching 100k EVs

According to insideevs.com, in a recent interview in France, Carlos Ghosn – CEO of Renault-Nissan – stated that he expected the Alliances cumulative sales of electric vehicles to soon exceed 100,000!
 
If this happen – and it eventually will, most likely before 2013 ends – Renault-Nissan will become the first automotive group to surpass that milestone.

Currently, the Alliances electric vehicle sales sit a bit above 86,000 units. Of course, the largest chunk of those sales belong to the Nissan LEAF at 62,000-plus units.  On Renault’s side, with 4 electric models to work with, sales check in at roughly 24,000.  The breakdown works out close to this:
  • 10,000 Twizy
  • 8,500 Kangoo Z.E
  • 3,500 Fluence Z.E.
  • 2,500 Zoe
Zoe will soon eclipse Fluence Z.E. sales though and could shoot to the top of Renault’s EV chart by the end of the year.
