These compare with figures of 55.1%, 31.6%, and 23.5% a year ago.
The Model Y has firmly toppled the previous regular leader, the Volvo XC40 . Second place went to the Volkswagen ID.4, and the Kia EV6 took third. There were no new faces in the top 20 , but June saw a few personal-best performances. The BWM i4 saw its highest volume yet , and climbed to 7th. The BYD Atto 3 saw its highest volume since the initial big splash in December, with 302 units in June, and 11th place. Close behind, the MG4 maintained the strong volume it pioneered in May, and claimed its highest rank so far, 13th position.The Tesla Model Y leads, as we would expect, but at a volume around 2x that of its nearest rival, the VW ID.4. The Volvo XC40 comes in third.
Just below the middle of the table, the relative newcomers, the MG4, the Toyota BZ4X, and the BYD Atto 3 have all now established themselves — and their brands’ BEV-credentials — in the Swedish market. They can build on this foundation with more BEV models in the future.
