Hyundai Kona Electric sales decreased to below 1,000 though.

Hyundai is producing and selling more plug-in electric cars than a year ago - in August, manufacturer's sales amounted to 3,243, which is almost 138% more than in August 2017.

However, the result is almost 1,000 lower than the peaks in June and July, so the plug-in share out of overall volume decreased to 2.3%.

Sales by model:

IONIQ Electric – 1,657

IONIQ Plug-In – 623

Kona Electric – 956

Sonata Plug-In - 7

We should be especially disappointed by the Kona Electric number -, compared toin June andin July. The main question is why the production/sales decrease when there are so many orders and the car was well received in the reviews?

So far this year, Hyundai sold 24,908 plug-in electric cars worldwide.
