As of lately, Finland has become one of my favorite markets to report, because news are always good here, October confirmed that trend, with a total of 135 EV's were sold in Finland, up 155% YoY, with the EV Share up again to a record 1,1%.
Looking at the models ranking, the Volvo XC90 T8 is untouchable in the leadership, with 230 units, 19 of them last month.
The Second Placed VW Passat GTE is secure in its place, but the last place of the podium is still pretty much open to discussion between two BMW's, with the 330e (13 sales last month) surpassing its X5 relative (8 units), with only one unit separating them, it looks this will be a open race until the end .
The Audi Q7 e-Tron continues to deliver impressive numbers, having registered 17 units last month and jumping to #9 in the YTD chart, making it a serious contender for the 2017 title.
Underlining a positive month for BMW is the performance of its 740e flagship, that registered 6 units last month and now has only four units separating it from the class leader, the Mercedes S500e.
