Renault prevails in the electric car segment
A remarkable performance for the Renault Mégane E-Tech
The AAA Data organization revealed the sales figures for June 2024 in France, and the results are impressive for the Renault Mégane E-Tech electric. With a revision of the range and prices, the model took the lead in the ranking, even surpassing the Tesla Model Y. This sales increase is partly due to a price drop and the introduction of social leasing. As a result, the Mégane climbed to the top spot on the podium, ahead of the Tesla Model Y and Model 3.
Ranking of electric vehicles in June
In June 2024, the Renault Mégane E-Tech sold 3,257 units, surpassing the Tesla Model Y with 2,155 units. The Tesla Model 3 follows with 1,821 sales, then the Renault Twingo, the Peugeot e-208, and the Fiat 500 which are also popular. The competition remains strong with the MG4 in 7th place and the Volkswagen ID.3, Citroën ë-C4, and Renault Scénic E-Tech completing the top 10. Renault takes a significant place in this ranking and positions its vehicles among the best electric SUVs of the moment.
Ranking since January 2024
Cumulatively, since January, the Peugeot e-208 remains the best-selling with 17,341 units, followed by the Tesla Model Y with 11,517 units. The Renault Mégane E-Tech is close behind with 11,356 sales. The Fiat 500 and the Renault Twingo complete the top 5, while the Tesla Model 3 occupies the sixth place.

This ranking highlights the good health of small vehicles and notably the best electric city cars.
