A surprising sales success


The Rise and Rise of Nissan Edition

With 707 units sold, the Swedish EV Market has beaten by a thread the record 705 EV's registered in March, pulling the EV Share further close (1,98%) to the 2% barrier.
 
Looking at the Monthly models ranking, the Outlander PHEV continues to be the leader, but the Nissan Leaf (162 units, best result since last August) came close in Second, while the Model S ended in Third. The surprise is in Fourth, the Volvo V60 Plug-In establishes its best result of the year (62 units), preparing the way for the upcoming Thor's Vessel XC90 Plug-in.

Looking at the YTD chart, the podium stays the same, but below it, things become interesting, with the Nissan's  e-NV200 / Evalia duo, rising yet again to #4, proving to be a somewhat surprising success, with the breakdown between passenger and commercial versions close to a 50/50 ratio (More than 95% of the Kangoo ZE are LCV's), meaning that there is demand for this kind of electric vehicles.

The V60 Plug-in also climbs one position to #6, which is still a poor performance for last year runner-up, is Volvo concentrating all cards on the new XC90?

Another car underperforming is the soon-dead Prius Plug-In, down two positions to #11, far from the #6 registered last year and even further apart from the Bronze Medal won in 2013.

The Mercedes C350e is starting to climb positions at the bottom of the ranking and it could be a major player here, should Mercedes be willing to bet on it, of course...

On the manufacturers ranking, Mitsu rules (30%), but Nissan is making impressive progresses, it's now #2 with 23% share (Up 3%), followed by Volkswagen, with 10%.
