Record Sales - Norwegian Edition
After a weak July, August sales came to the rescue and with 680 units sold, the Norwegian EV market headed to a new record high, reaching 6% share this month and jumping the YTD EV share to 3,73%.
The unusual fact is that more than 90% of this sales flood came from just two models, one was the sales champion Nissan Leaf, that sold 448 units, just 7 behind its April record, allowing it a great #4 spot in the global ranking, and the second was the Tesla Model S with 185 units, this first real sales month enabled it to jump to third in the YTD sales chart, with the second place already in its sights.
Finally, the Prius Plug-In, best PHEV in the ranking, is just #4 with 3% share, small numbers if we compare them with the success PHEV's have in other scandinavian countries.
