did see annual growth in share, but this was outweighed by the greater falling share of plugin hybrids. Overall auto volumes also declined YoY by some 25% to 12,363 units. The Volkswagen ID.4 was again Norway’s overall best seller.
Although share was given up by plugins as a result of HEVs’ relative strength, combustion-only powertrains took a bigger relative hit, falling YoY from 7.7% share to 6.1%.The Volkswagen ID.4 and Tesla Model Y have been playing a game of tag over recent months, and the ID.4 took the top spot in August, with 1,451 units registered. Expect to see Tesla make their usual end-of-quarter volume push next month to retake the top spot.
Others to watch out for are the Renault Megane and its group cousin the Nissan Ariya. The Megane grew volume over the previous month by almost 60%, to 72 units, though is still well outside the top 20. The Ariya saw its first noticeable volume month in August, with 41 units, and will continue to climb from here. Both will be competing in already somewhat crowded segments, so it will be interesting to see how high they can go.
Could it be that the trend has worked its way down to the petrolhead refuseniks? Certainly in the UK, I expect there to will be car customers in the early thirties sticking to fossil fuels out of ideological spite.
One can clearly see tesla delivery wave reflected on Norway’s share of BEVs 😳
