| Something we are seeing frequently...Tesla as a Taxi favorite. |
Time to Breathe Edition
After several record months, the Swedish EV market lifted the accelerator, registering 561 units, some 350 less than in June, but still 29% above the same month last year, enough to pull the EV Share slightly north, to 2,18%.
The Outlander PHEV continues leading the Monthly ranking, something it has been doing since November '13, while the Tesla Model S registered 103 units last month, its second best performance ever, considering that it was achieved on the first month of the Quarter, which is usually a slow sales month for the american brand, it looks that Tesla is on the rise, will we see it in #1 by September?
Considering that the Audi A6 sold 450 units last month, there's plenty of room for the Model S to grow and get there.
In other news, the Rookie Of the Year Golf GTE continues to impress, it was #4 last month with 50 units, in possibly related news, the VW e-Golf had its worst month of the year, selling just 5 units...

| 3 | Nissan Leaf | 80 | |
| 4 | Volkswagen Golf GTE | 50 | |
| 5 | Renault Zoe | 40 |
Looking at the YTD chart, there weren't significant changes to the ranking, but the Model S recovered ground to the #2 Nissan Leaf and if the american sports sedan continues to increase sales, we could see it in #2 soon.
On the manufacturers ranking, there weren't any significant changes, with Mitsubishi on top (30%), Nissan Second with 20% share and Tesla Third, with 13%.
Regarding the BEV/PHEV share, pure electrics continue to overrun (53/47) Plug-in Hybrids, the evolution of this breakdown will depend greatly on the future performance of the Golf GTE and the Model S.
