With the PEV market going mainstream in Sweden, expect the V90 PHEV to become a success

Going Mainstream

We start the 2018 reporting with Sweden, the rise and rise of the local Plug-in market continues, registrations were up 40% YoY in January, with 1.749 units registered last month, pulling the PEV Share to a record 7,6%. Will we see this market reach 10% by year end? 

Looking at the top positions, we see PHEVs taking over the top positions, with this technology representing a record 89% of Plug-in sales, with lots of D-Segment models on the Top 10, which proves that this market is now becoming mainstream, as it starts to reflect the local taste for big Ikea-furniture-carrying wagons. 

Looking at January Best Sellers, the podium spots has no big surprises, with the last year leader Volkswagen Passat GTE scoring 298 units (-46% YoY), in Second we have the Kia Optima PHEV, confirming the recent popularity of its Wagon version, while the Volvo V60 PHEV closed the podium, with a surprising 160 units, almost doubling last January result, an impressive performance, considering this model was launched in the Pliocene 2012.

Two surprises show up in the Top 10, with the S/V90 PHEV twins and the Kia Niro PHEV shining, while the BMW X5 PHEV (51 units) scored a new personal best.

Interestingly, the manufacturers ranking show Volvo (21%) biting the heels of the leader Volkswagen (22%), with the surprising Kia closing the podium, with 17% share.
