The Volvo V60 Plug-In is one of the models with great sales potential in Norway |
Leaf Rules Edition
With 391 cars sold, a 39% decrease over last month, the EV market suffered from an average month by the Nissan Leaf with 330 sales and #8 in the general ranking. It's curious to realize that an eighth place in the general ranking for the Leaf now can be classified as "average".
The rest of the ranking has much smaller numbers, the Mitsubishi I-Miev is #2, with 17 units and 181 YTD, followed by the Toyota Prius Plug-In, number one among Plug-In Hybrids, segment that will grow in the next months, now that they benefit from the same fiscal incentives as pure electric cars, for now they represent just 9% of the market.
