| Sweden's new plug-in favorite |
The Swedish EV market is officially on fire, with 1.376 units in June, up 52% YoY, making this the third fourth consecutive month above the 1.000 units, with the EV Share hitting once again a new record at 3.22%.
Looking at the monthly models ranking, the VW Passat GTE, was once again the leader, with 453 units (Another new Personal Best), representing 28% of all VW Passat sales, if the GTE midsizer were to be considered a unique model, it would be ranked #16 in the general ranking.
The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is recovering its form, having sold 248 units and hitting #2 last month, while Volvo had again a good sales month, placing once again the V60 Plug-in wagon in Third (132 units) and the XC90 PHEV SUV in Fourth, with a personal best 112 units.
Finally, the Tesla Model S ended June in Fifth with 77 units, a rather underwhelming performance, considering its half of what it sold last March or in June '15.
