| Sweden's new plug-in favorite |
The Swedish EV market has managed to stay above the 1.000 in July, with 1.005 units, achieving it for the fifth consecutive time, all while improving sales 80% over the same period last year, with the EV Share hitting once again a new record at 3.32%.
Looking at the monthly models ranking, the VW Passat GTE, was once again the leader, with 446 units (Sixth consecutive monthly Best Selling trophy), representing 29% of all VW Passat sales, if the GTE midsizer were to be considered a unique model, it would be ranked #11 in the general ranking.
The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV was once again the runner-up, having sold 113 units, while Volvo had again a good sales month, placing the XC90 Plug-in in Third (74 units) and the V60 Plug-In in Fourth, with 71 units.
Finally, the Tesla Model S ended July in Fifth, with 57 units, a rather underwhelming performance, having seen its sales drop 45%.

Looking at the YTD ranking, there were a number of changes:
- The BMW 330e climbed to #7, switching positions with its i3 relative;
- VW had a good month, with the Golf GTE climbing to #9 and the e-Up! to #14;
There were two new entries in the Swedish EV Market, the Audi Q7 e-Tron landed with 13 units, a good sign for future performances, while the Tesla Model X has made its first registration, it will be interesting to see by how much will the SUV model outsell the Model S brethren.
On the manufacturers ranking, Volkswagen (35, up 2%) is firm in the leadership, followed by Volvo (18%) and BMW (12%) in Third, with Mitsubishi (11%) a close Fourth.
