Sales of electric cars fell for the 2nd month in a row in the Nordics

For the second month in a row, Danish sales of new cars are the only thing that is progressing in the entire Nordic region. It shows completely new figures for the month of June.

For the second month in a row, Danish car sales are the only ones to advance in the entire Nordic region. Figures from Bilstatistik.dk show this.

However, this is a very small plus. Because if you look at 2024 to date, it is a mere 2.39 percent, car sales are progressing here at home. This corresponds to 86,330 newly registered passenger cars.

In comparison, car sales in Sweden have gone back by 5.79 percent, while the Norwegians are seriously holding back with a minus of 7.94 percent. Even if Norway does not ban new cars with internal combustion engines from the new year. Read more here .

If you look at electric cars in isolation, Denmark is actually also the only country that pulls the car type up in the statistics. In Sweden, electric cars' share of the new car market fell by 6.4 percent to a total of 36.8 percent.

While the Norwegian bought 2.8 percent fewer electric cars compared to June last year. This corresponds to a market share of 80 percent. In Denmark, on the other hand, electric cars account for 51 percent of new car sales, which is an increase from last year's 46 percent.

For all of 2024 to date, it looks even worse. Swedes buy 20 percent fewer electric cars than a year ago, and Norwegians six percent fewer.

However, the decline is pure water compared to the hemorrhaging that electric cars are experiencing in Europe's largest car market at the moment.

For the sixth month in a row, sales of electric cars are falling in Germany. Electric cars in particular seem to have a hard time coping without the state subsidy the German government withdrew with immediate effect in December 2023. Read more about it here .
