Norway December 2020

Audi e-Tron 2020 Best Seller in 65% PEV market 

BEVs are becoming the norm in Norway, as they were responsible for 67% of the Norwegian market last month, up 301% last month, to 13.718 units, pulling the 2020 BEV share to 54%, while plugin hybrids, in the context of growing sales across Europe, registered 4.192 units, being responsible for 20% share of the overall market in December, which coincidentally, is the same as the 2020 score (20%).

Looking at the fuels breakdown, if plugins were up in December, the rest is falling quickly: HEVs had just 6% share of the market, petrol vehicles were down to just 3% share (it had 15% a year ago), while diesel had only 5%, while in the same month last year, the black fuel had 22% share...At this pace, regular ICE sales will disappear sometime next year!

Looking at December model sales by fuel, the Tesla Model 3 interrupted a streak of VW ID.3 wins, with 4.232 units, the sports sedan best result since March '19.

The surprise in this Top 5 was the Volvo XC40 EV jumping to 3rd in only its second month on the market, so we find ourselves in the need to add another 2021 Best Seller candidate, as the Belgian-Swede has proved it can not only outsell its relative Polestar 2, but also get in the way of the VW Group and Tesla front-runners.

A minor surprise comes from the Nissan Leaf, a model that scored 692 registrations last month, its best score in Norway since 2018.

Pl	Model	Sales
1	Tesla Model 3	4.232
2	VW ID.3	2.303
3	Volvo XC40 EV	791
4	Nissan Leaf	692
5	Polestar 2	670

Looking at the 2020 ranking, if the Audi e-Tron took the Gold medal without a sweat, while the 2019 Best Seller Tesla Model 3 had to work hard in December to reach Silver, beating the VW ID.3 by just 16 units.

The Nissan Leaf also had a strong year end, climbing to #4, at the expense of the Hyundai Kona EV.

The Polestar 2 past through the unplugged Toyota squad and jumped into #10, thus making a fully pluggable Top 11 in Norway, and of those 11 models, only one, the #9 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is not a BEV... 

On the second half of the table, the BMW i3 kept the Best Selling small EV title, while a mention is due to the Volvo XC60 PHEV, that thanks to 464 registrations, its best result in 26 months, it jumped 4 spots, to #15, while the Hyundai Ioniq Electric was up to #17. The new Ioniq 5 should be success story here...

We have a new face on the last place of this year Top 20, with the Toyota RAV4 PHEV joining the table in the last stage, with the fresh PHEV version of the Japanese SUV already outselling the respective HEV version...So, next year, another plugless model will be out of this table.

Outside the Top 20, the highlight was the aforementioned thunderous score of the Volvo XC40 EV, with 791 deliveries, while several other SUVs had great performances, like the BMW X1 PHEV (521 units) and X3 PHEV (255), the Jaguar i-Pace registered 517 units, a new record for the Sports SUV, while the quirky Mazda MX-30 continues to impress, by registering 494 units last month.

Looking at the overall manufacturers ranking, Volkswagen (14%) won this year title, while below it, Toyota (9%, down 1%) secured Silver, followed by the #3 Audi (7%, down 1%), that managed to keep its podium position, despite BMW and Volvo (both at also 7% share) best efforts to beat Audi.

A step below, we have Mercedes and Tesla, both with 6% share.

Norway November 2020

 

VW ID.3 new King in Norway 

BEVs are becoming the norm in Norway, as they were responsible for 56% of the Norwegian market last month, up 90% last month, to 7.035 units, pulling the YTD share to 52%, while plugin hybrids, in the context of growing sales across Europe, registered 2.983 units, being responsible for 24% share of the overall market (21% YTD).

Looking at the fuels breakdown, if plugins are up, the rest is falling quickly: HEVs now have just 9% share of the market, petrol vehicles are down to 6% share (it had 11% a year ago), while diesel has only 5%, while in the same month last year, the black fuel had 16% share...Will we see diesel disappear next year?

Looking at November model sales by fuel, the VW ID.3 scored a third consecutive win, with 986 units, so it seems after the Tesla Model 3 and the Audi e-Tron, the german hatchback is the new ruler in Norway.

The remaining Top 5 has the MG ZS EV keeping the runner-up position, thanks to a record 644 registrations, it looks like the MG crossover has found its space in the market, as the value-minded preferred choice, at least until other mainstream minded models (Skoda Eniaq...) do not land.

The Toyota RAV4 PHEV was 3rd, with a record 631 registrations, with the Japanese SUV scoring its first podium position ever.

Pl	Model	Sales
1	VW ID.3	986
2	SAIC MG ZS EV	644
3	Toyota RAV4 PHEV	631
4	Audi e-Tron	569
5	Nissan Leaf	557

Looking at the 2020 ranking, the VW ID.3 suprpassed its predecessor VW e-Golf and is the new runner-up, as it prepares to lead this market in 2021.

SAIC's MG ZS EV was up to #7, now making a fully BEV Top 8.

In the unplugged category, the Toyota Corolla Hybrid jumped 3 spots, to #11, and the Yaris Hybrid was up to #14. 

In the second half of the table, a mention also to the Polestar 2 jumping 3 spots, to #15, and should climb higher in the last month of the year.

Outside the Top 20, the highlight was the thunderous landing of the Volvo XC40 EV, with 400 deliveries, but the BMW X1 PHEV also deserves a mention, having scored a record 519 units, with BMW celebrating another record performance, with the 330e reaching 211 deliveries, mostly thanks to the new station wagon body.

Looking at the overall manufacturers ranking, Volkswagen (14%) is in the lead, thanks to the ID.3 deliveries, while below it, we have Toyota (10%, up 1%) distancing from the #3 Audi (8%) and securing the runner-up spot.

Outside the podium, BMW (7%, up 1%) is leading a pack of makers (Volvo, Hyundai, Mercedes)  all with 6% share, all looking to reach the podium sometime in the future.
