Slowing Down Edition
The Swedish EV market lifted the accelerator, registering 583 units, only 3% above the same month last year, which might mean that after several months of rapid growth, this market seems to be stabilizing.
The Outlander PHEV continues leading the Monthly ranking, something it has been doing since November '13, but the Tesla Model S arrived close, registering 100 units, will we see the Californian in #1 next month?
In other news, the Golf GTE continues to impress, it was #3 with 73 units, while the Renault Zoe had its best month ever, selling 59 units, reaching #4, its best position to date.
