Model rank
The September sales were mostly influenced by the record Tesla Model 3 deliveries (5,768 and 13,587 YTD), which accounts for some 71.5% of all plug-ins! Model 3 was the top-selling car for the month, regardless of fuel type.
The previous monthly plug-in record belonged to the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, which was starting its successful career in Europe with 4,957 registrations in December 2013.
