The Swedish EV market registered 798 units, up a stratospheric 165% YoY, while also being the third fourth consecutive month of monthly growth.

The EV Share is up again to 2.23%, a new record that places Sweden as the Fifth market with highest percentage of plug-in share, only behind Norway, Netherlands, Iceland and Hong Kong.

The Outlander PHEV (220 units) continues leading the Monthly ranking, something it has been doing since November '13, but below it, a new competitor has arrived and has its headlights set on #1: The Volkswagen Passat GTE landed with 117 units, the best debut month ever for any plug-in model in Sweden, allowing it to shoot straight to #2 in November, will we see the German sedan beat the long-time running leader Outlander PHEV soon?

Also of notice are the 58 units recorded by the BMW i3, its best month yet here, a sign that customer-friendly deals are being made...
