Renault reports a big 34% year-over-year decrease of its global passenger car sales in September and unfortunately, all-electric car sales also decreased.

In total, the French brand sold some 9,501 electric cars, which is 24% less than a year ago. It’s a third consecutive month of decline and fifth out of nine this year. Not a common sight in the booming BEV market.

All-electric cars accounted for 8.3% of the total Renault passenger car sales globally (13.8% in Europe) and 3.7% of commercial vehicles (4.5% in Europe).

So far this year, Renault has sold some 73,018 electric cars (no chane year-over-year).

BEVs stand for 6.4% of the total passenger car sales globally (12.0% in Europe).

The number includes passenger and commercial BEVs, but excludes Twizy heavy quadricycles (L7e) and plug-in hybrids.

Last month, Renault sold over 7,400 ZOE and almost 1,500 Twingo Z.E. The Renault Kangoo Z.E. van noted almost 500 units.
