It took the crown with 3,593 sales, outpacing the Toyota Rav4 which was the only other passenger car in the top 5 vehicles sold in the country.Tesla’s electric SUV, the Model Y, took the second spot on the EV charts with 2,072 sales in February, delivering a total of 5,665 sales for Tesla in the month, and pushing its EV market share back above 50 per cent and to 56 per cent.
At the more affordable end of the market, the BYD Atto 3 (711 sales), the BYD Seal (619 sales) and MG4 (446 sales) took the next three spots to make it up the top 5 table for EVs. They were followed by the BYD Dolphin.Other notable EVs that made it to the sales chart included the Kia EV6 and Volvo and the XC40 Recharge, although some data is yet to be received.
