Sweden June 2014

Celebrating Summer, the Theme of the Month is:
Summer activities, like going for a swim in the river...

You Give Me Fever Edition

It looks that the Outlander PHEV fever in Sweden isn't giving signs of slowing down, another record month for the japanese SUV, with 439 sales, enough to put it in #16 in the Swedish global ranking with 1,5% share, while also being the second best selling SUV of the country, only behind the Volvo XC60.

As a consequence of this, the Swedish EV market shattered the previous sales record (467 sales last April), with a brilliant result of 624 units sold and an EV Share of over 2% this month (1,52% YTD), this last number is particularly important because it places this market right behind Norway and Holland regarding plug-ins importance in the overall market. 

The rest of the competition had also good numbers, with the Volvo V60 Plug-In selling 71 units and the Model S from Tesla beating its own sales record with 45 registrations, climbing three positions to #5.
