Slowing Down Edition

The Swedish EV market lifted the accelerator, registering 583 units, only 3% above the same month last year, which might mean that after several months of rapid growth, this market seems to be stabilizing.

The Outlander PHEV continues leading the Monthly ranking, something it has been doing since November '13, but the Tesla Model S arrived close, registering 100 units, will we see the Californian in #1 next month? 

In other news, the Golf GTE continues to impress, it was #3 with 73 units, while the Renault Zoe had its best month ever, selling 59 units, reaching #4, its best position to date.

Looking at the YTD chart, there weren't significant changes in the top positions, but the Model S is now on the verge to surpass the #2 Nissan Leaf with only 16 units separating them.

The Renault Zoe climbed two positions to #6, while the VW Golf GTE climbed to #8, surpassing its BEV sibling e-Golf, an impressive performance considering that it has been in the market for only three months.

On the manufacturers ranking, there weren't any significant changes, with Mitsubishi on top (28%), Nissan Second with 19% share and Tesla in Third, with 13%, with Volkswagen dangerously close in Fourth, with 12%.
