Sweden used EV sales surge 10.7% in Sept as overall market drops 9.9%

Used electric vehicle sales in Sweden rose 10.7% year-on-year in September to 8,407 units, while the total used car market contracted 9.9%, per Carlas Elbilsindex. The divergence signals accelerating EV adoption in the secondary market, likely driven by Tesla price cuts and broader EV price declines. This trend could pressure new car margins and accelerate fleet turnover, with implications for automakers and battery supply chains.
