Volvo reaches #1
The hangover is still showing itself in April, with sales back at just three digits (882 sales), with YoY registrations are down 43%.
But not all is bad news, as the EV Share has recovered from 2,23% in the previous month, to the current 2.44%, but it is still a long way from the 9.63% of last year.
Looking at the monthly ranking, the Monthly Best Seller award went to the Volvo XC90 PHEV, which made a year best performance of 370 units (Best Selling Luxury SUV in the overall market), while the #3 BMW 330e has remained above the 100 deliveries, beating once again the Mercedes C350e and VW Passat GTE.

5 | Volkswagen Passat GTE | 35 |
Plug-in hybrids are once again winning the majority of sales (56%), with several plug-in hybrids climbing positions in the ranking, like the BMW 330e climbing to #4, with another BMW providing great numbers, with the 225xe Active Tourer shooting six positions to #7.
On a broader look, the Tesla Model S (665 units) has maintained the Number One position in its size class, beating the usual best-sellers BMW 5-Series (481), Audi A6 (418).
