Sweden April 2015

Leaf's Rocinante is also proving to be a sales success


Leaf vs e-Golf Edition

With 672 units sold, the Swedish EV Market was close to beat the record 705 EV's registered in March, pulling the EV Share further north (1,87%), can this mean that the 2% will be achieved this year?

Looking at the Monthly models ranking, the Outlander PHEV continues the undisputed leader, with the Nissan Leaf (102 units) tied in Second with the surprising VW e-Golf, the german car had its best result ever in Sweden, can this mean that we will see VW's middle-class favorite achieve the same success as in Norway? And can the Leaf respond to that possible threat? Bring on the popcorns, because it looks to be an interesting fight between these two.

Looking at the YTD chart, the podium stays the same, but below it, things become interesting, with the e-Golf climbing six(!) positions to #4, with Nissan's LCV offering, the e-NV200 / Evalia duo, rising yet again to #5. An interesting statistic regarding the Barcelona-built Van, is that 83 are LCV (e-NV200) and 46 are passenger versions (Evalia), it's an impressive share of passenger versions, which means that an affordable MPV / 7-seater is an uncovered niche that Nissan is taking profit from the absence of their competitors.

Further down in the chart, the Audi A3 e-Tron continues to climb, it was up one position to #8, while the Renault Zoe was also up, in this case two positions to #9.

On the manufacturers ranking, Mitsu rules (30%), but Nissan is making impressive progresses, it's now #2 with 20% share, followed by Volkswagen, with 11%.
