# [Irish BEV Sales – January 2020](https://www.irishevassociation.ie/news/irish-bev-sales-january-2020)

January is the strongest month for Irish car sales and this is also true for BEV sales. The growth has slowed down, but it is still up 12.4% for a market share of 2.87% in a total market down 3.5%.

 Kia E-Sould is 5th this month with 69 units sold

The **Nissan Leaf **is the best selling car this month with sales slightly increasing over the same month last year. On the second spot, the **[Hyundai Kona](https://www.irishevowners.ie/test-drive-hyundai-kona-electric/)** is disappointingly down 35% whereas its sister the** **[**Ioniq **benefits from its facelift](https://www.irishevowners.ie/new-on-the-market-hyundai-ioniq-facelift-2020/) to boost is sales by 120% and steal the 3rd spot from the **[Renault Zoé](https://www.irishevowners.ie/test-drive-renault-zoe-ze40-r110-dynamique-nav-van/)**<https://www.irishevowners.ie/test-drive-renault-zoe-ze40-r110-dynamique-nav-van/>**[ZE40](https://www.irishevowners.ie/test-drive-renault-zoe-ze40-r110-dynamique-nav-van/)**, which sales are at a standstill (6 units down 92%) awaiting for the new model to start its deliveries in the next few weeks. On the 4th and 5th spot, we can find the **Kia E-Niro** and **[E-Soul](https://www.irishevowners.ie/new-on-the-market-kia-e-soul/)**, and 6th is the** Tesla Model 3**. The **Volkswagen E-Golf** is showing a good growth (47 sales up 52%) thanks to its readjusted pricing.

On the luxury side of the market the Audi E-tron (20 units) is leading ahead of the** Jaguar i-Pace** (8), **Tesla Model X** (4), **Model S** (3) and **Mercedes EQC** (2).

There was no real new models on the market this month, so no particular boost seen, but there are a few volume vehicles coming this spring such as the [**Peugeot e-208**](https://www.irishevowners.ie/new-on-the-market-peugeot-e-208/), [**Renault Zoé ZE50**](https://www.irishevowners.ie/new-on-the-market-renault-zoe-ze50/), **Opel Corsa-e** and [**Mini Cooper SE**](https://www.irishevowners.ie/new-on-the-market-mini-cooper-se/), that should allow a significant growth later this spring.

 Nissan Leaf, clearly leading both new and used import markets

The used imports market is still quite slow and dominated as always by the Nissan Leaf.

 Just 2 new Mercedes EQC were sold this month
