Models
While in April the market was led by the Volkswagen ID.4, this time the top-selling electric model happens to be the Ford Mustang Mach-E, which arrived in volume a few weeks ago.
Ford Mustang Mach-E noted an impressive 1,384 new registrations (9.8% share in May), immediately jumping to the #11 best-selling model year-to-date.
Interesting things do not end here. The second best was the Skoda Enyaq iV with 795 units, slightly above its cousin - also new Volkswagen ID.4 (774)!
It's really cool to see that most of the new BEVs start their adventure in Norway with a splash.
We can see a few models with around 400 units - Tesla Model 3 (504), Mercedes-Benz EQC (492) and Audi e-tron (447).

Unfortunately, the basic report does not reveal the share of plug-ins for Toyota RAV4 and Volvo XC40 (the top two models year-to-date).
