"The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly". Now, which is which?

Leaf  Attacks! Edition

560 new EV's found a home last month in Sweden, making it the Second Best Selling Month here, after the record 629 units record set last June, pulling the EV Share further up to 1,68%. To put these numbers in perspective, in August '13 there were just 111 sales...

This brilliant result didn't came from a super-month from the Outlander PHEV, like it did two months ago (428 units sold then!), Mitsu's SUV sold just 203 units, just a little above from the surprising #2 this July, the Nissan Leaf, that with 188 sales, has beaten its personal record in Sweden for the second consecutive time(!), climbing one position to #2 YTD. What is the reason for this sudden rise? Maybe one of them lies in the end of this text...

Third this month we have the V60 Plug-in (50 sales), incapable of holding on to #2 due to recent Leaf sales surge, and Fourth in August we have the Renault Zoe, beating its personal best with 34 units, while in #5 we have the little VW e-Up! (32 units), jumping in the YTD table from #8 to #4. 

The Worst Performer title went for Tesla, selling just one unit in August and dropping two positions to #8.

At the bottom of the table we see two landings, the Peugeot Partner Electrique (EV) made its first registration in Sweden, while the VW e-Golf had landed, selling 9 units, the first of many, for sure, the german hatch is expected soon to go after the Best Seller Title, maybe that's why Nissan is going full speed ahead with the Leaf here, it wants to do well before the the e-Golf starts stealing sales, like in neighboring Norway...

At many families request, here's a Top 5 ranking of the Best Selling Cars in Sweden last month...
