Models
The Volkswagen ID.4 was the top-selling model in October with 913 registrations, followed by its cousin - Skoda Enyaq iV (760). A very good month was noted also by the Hyundai Ioniq 5 - 585 registrations.
We would like to note also a decent month for Polestar 2 (405) and still strong results set by the Nissan LEAF (353).
Tesla had a very silent month with only 56 units (including 53 Model 3), but the brand remains the #1 year-to-date, similar to the Model 3.
BYD Tang, the all-electric 7-seat newcomer from China, was the 9th most popular model (probably with up to around 300 units).
