One can say with certainty that we are in theThe year-to-date registrations are now over 176,000 units, keeping the market share for plugin vehicles at 20% . This is 2 percentage points above the result in all of 2021, and is a good 9-percentage-point increase over the 2020 result . Expect the market to end above 20% by the end of the year.
The Megane EV was born as a dedicated EV, without ICE counterpart, so when the old generation fades out, in one or two years, the hatchback-that-thinks-is-a-crossover will have to hold the fort alone in the compact category. So, Renault’s minimum expectations for its compact EV next year should be around 30,000 units in 2023, with 40,000 expected in 2024, if it wants to compete for the category leadership spot with its Peugeot 308 rival.

With the BMW X3 PHEV joining the table in #20, we now have 7 PHEVs on the top 20, but only the category leader Peugeot 3008 PHEV is inside the top half of the table.
