Sweden February 2015

Waiting for the Boatload Edition

We start February with Sweden and positive signs on the EV market, with 306 new registrations, a slight improvement over January (299 units) and a 30% increase regarding last year's February, placing the EV Share at 1,36%.

Looking at the Monthly models ranking, it's Outlander PHEV all the way, with the Outlander PHEV (126 units), responsible for almost half the sales.

Next is the Nissan Leaf, with 32 units, its personal best since last August, followed by the BMW i3 (27 units), in Fourth with have the Volvo V60 Plug-in, with only 20 registrations, is its worst performance since May 2013! Stock shortage or something else here? 

Finally in Fifth we have the VW e-Golf, posting its first decent sales month in Sweden, is it the Heat-Pump factor doing its wonders?

Pl	Model	Sales
1	Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV	126
2	Nissan Leaf	32
3	BMW i3	27
3	Volvo V60 Plug-In	20
5	Volkswagen e-Golf	17

Looking at the YTD chart, the Top 2 continue, while the Model S drops two positions to #5, tied with the Nissan Leaf (Up four positions), with a new ship full of new Tesla cars coming now, expect a great March for Tesla...

Looking at LCV's, the Kangoo ZE is pretty weak this year, having sold only 24 units this year, half of what it did twelve months ago, it looks that the Nissan e-NV200 / Evalia duo (16 units YTD) is hurting the french LCV sales...
