Electric vehicle sales are beginning to pick up, slowly, but surely. But which automaker leads the charge in the new and used EV market?

, 131 used EVs made their way to environmentally conscious buyers. "Affordability, limited choice and education have been major factors stalling the sales of pure electric vehicles in South Africa.

"AutoTrader has also been at the forefront of the transition, with the EV buyer survey and education," said AutoTrader CEO. Premium brands BMW, Volvo, MINI, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Jaguar, and Porsche dominate both new and used sales. This commanding success is perhaps unsurprising given BMW offers the widest range of EV models and is one of the first brands to introduce EVs locally, launching its quirky BMW i3 in 2015.

German brands Mercedes-Benz and Audi secured 8 and 3%, respectively; British brand Jaguar posted 1.8%, while German marque Porsche garnered 1.4%.In the used EV market, the MINI and Volvo brands swapped places. According to AutoTrader Used Car Sales data, MINI bagged 14.5% of sales, with Volvo in the slipstream at 14% courtesy of its compact SUV, the XC40, the third most sold EV model behind the MINI Cooper SE.
