Leaf gets in the Way Edition
We start looking at August sales by looking at Sweden, where there was another bad month for the EV market, with sales dropping to 99 units and the EV share down to 0,71%.
Profiting from a bad month of the first two, the Nissan Leaf became really close to score its first #1 in Sweden, selling 26 units, just one behind the homeboy from Volvo.
The rest of the models ranking remained the same, just like in the manufacturers chart, although Nissan is now closer from #3 Renault, with just 2 points separating them.
