5 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INSERO QUARTERLY, Q NORDIC WHAT THE LATEST NORDIC FIGURES TELL US After Q3 2015, the total number of electric vehicles (including plug-in hybrids) out on the Nordic roads have surpassed 85,000. Check out the figures While Q3 was acceptable overall, Denmark was the only country with a new sales record. Norway had the lowest selling quarter this year, while Sweden and Finland dropped slightly compared to Q2 Check out the figures Q3 of 2015 showed a drop of 1,200 plug-in vehicles compared to Q2, but the YTD numbers show a 64% increase across the Nordic region compared to the same period of Check out the figures While the A-segment is still relatively big in Norway, the larger segments are responsible for most sales. Check out the figures The infrastructure roll-out continues its steady expansion. Norway is changing from slow points to fast chargers, which has decreased their total number of charging points. In the rest of the Nordic region, the development continues with no major news. Check out the figures Currently, the EV Incentives are stable and well functioning in Norway and Sweden, while Finland is still some way from having incentives. Denmark has added taxes to EVs as the only country in the world, which will be phased in over a 5 year period. Check out more With the amount of battery capacity available, the Nordic countries should start implementing EV batteries in their reserve capacity market. Real life demonstrations are planned in Denmark, which might put V2G in commercial use within 18 months. Check out the figures

6 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INSERO QUARTERLY, Q DENMARK THE MAIN TENDENCIES FROM DENMARK Q has set a new record in registrations with 913 vehicles sold. Check out the figures With more than 2,000 vehicles sold, the record from 2014 has already been broken Check out the figures Infrastructure roll-out continues with a lot of semi-fast chargers and further expansion of the fast charging network. Check out the figures In terms of incentives for electric vehicles, Insero expects sales to increase in Q4 as a result of the phasing-in of EVs in the registration system. Check out more With Denmark already pursuing a Smart Grid strategy, the first real life tests of V2G technology are expected to commence before year end. Check out more PHEVs are starting to take off as several models are being introduced. Check Out the figures

7 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INSERO QUARTERLY, Q NORWAY THE MAIN TENDENCIES FROM NORWAY The total number of electric vehicles in Norway is now more than 65,000. Norway continues its reign as the EV capital of the world. Q3 sales are almost at 8,000 vehicles, which is a decrease compared to Q2. Check out the figures Q3 of 2015 showed that the EV trend will continue at a slower pace. Q3 was the lowest selling quarter of the year Check out the figures The distribution of sold vehicles across segments is beginning to resemble the overall sales distribution, although the E-segment is still considerably bigger in the plug-in vehicle sales. With almost 2,000 VW e-golf sold in Q3, it is by far the most wanted EV in the Nordic Region. Check out the figures Not much is new with the Norwegian incentives, as we are waiting for a plan for phasing out some of the softer incentives Check out more Battery storage capacity is up by 170 MWh this quarter, which corresponds to 12%. Check out the figures

8 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INSERO QUARTERLY, Q SWEDEN THE MAIN TENDENCIES FROM SWEDEN With more than 3,400 plug-in vehicles sold in Q3, Sweden is consistently beating the 2014 sales. But Q3 sales are down by 600 compared to Q2. Check out the figures YTD, 2015 saw an increase of 179% in sales compared to the same period in This is the best development in the Nordic region. Check out the figures The plug-in hybrid vehicle segment is still responsible for more than half of the Swedish electric vehicle sales (54%). New PHEV models will strengthen this development. The infrastructure roll-out is continuing at a reasonable pace, although the number of fast charging points could be improved. Check out the figures The Super Green Car Rebate has been extremely successful. This year, there is no uncertainty about the subsidy as actions towards it have been taken. Check out more Sweden has had a respectable increase of 43MWh in battery capacity this quarter. This is hampered by the large amount of PHEVs. Check out the figures

9 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INSERO QUARTERLY, Q FINLAND THE MAIN TENDENCIES FROM FINLAND The total number of electric vehicles in Finland is now 1,347. Finland also remains the Nordic country with the least number of electric vehicle models available to purchase. Check out the figures Finland had almost the same sales in Q3 as in Q2 but was 11 vehicles short of breaking their own record. Check out the figures The PHEVs make up 60% of the Finnish electric vehicle sales, which is unmatched in the Nordic Region. With the Finnish EV sales still not really taking off, the infrastructure roll-out is also moving along at a slow pace. Insero is starting to get an overview of the exact numbers. Check out the figures The electric vehicle incentives in Finland are still non-existing. Insero expected a plan for this within the year but are sceptic that it will actually happen. Check out more The available battery capacity in Finland was added 6 MWh, primarily from PHEVs. Check out the figures

11 2. SALES STATISTICS STOCK OF ELECTRIC AND PLUG-IN HYBRID VEHICLES Nordic The total number of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles in the Nordic countries rose by 10,735 vehicles, bringing it over 85,000 total. 11 DK TOTAL EV & PHEV STOCK DK NO SW FI NO SE FI The total stock has increased by 3,854 plug-in vehicles since As a result, the total stock has risen 63% so far in Despite record sales in Q in Denmark and solid sales in Sweden, a slowdown in Norwegian sales will most likely push the 100,000 mark into Q If just vehicles are sold in Q4, sales will have risen by min. 80% for four consecutive years YTD 2015 SW 15% FI 2% DK 6% COUNTRIES SHARE OF THE TOTAL EV & PHEV STOCK Norway fell back to 77% of the total Nordic EV and PHEV stock. Insero expects this trend to continue as more and more PHEV models are being released. As the only Nordic country, Denmark actually topped the sales of Q2. 77% NO With more PHEV models arriving over the next year, Insero expects that this will enable sustained growth in sales of PHEVs and EVs.

12 2. SALES STATISTICS ANNUAL SALES OF ELECTRIC AND PLUG-IN HYBRID VEHICLES, YTD Nordic With the tax exemption running out in a few months, Denmark has had the best Q3 of all. At the same time, Norway and Sweden have seen slightly declining sales. 12 DK NO SE FI EV & PHEV SALES PER YEAR As expected, the total 2014 sales were topped already in august All of the Nordic countries have surpassed their total sales of Insero expects an end-of-year sprint in Denmark as EVs will be taxed from 1 st of January Although Finland is still lacking behind, the increased number of plug-in models is expected to result in a rise in sales FI 2% DK 7% COUNTRIES SHARE OF SALES YTD 2015 SW 15% While Denmark has risen, Norway and Sweden have declined a little. However, this is not enough to change the countries share of sales. Insero expects Denmark to increase their share with a few percent in the next two quarters before the tax exemption runs out. Also, the increase in PHEV models makes it likely that Sweden and Finland will increase their share. 77% NO For Denmark, the rise will be momentary as the highest selling vehicles will increase in price next year due to taxes.

13 2. SALES STATISTICS NORDIC OVERVIEW YEAR-TO-DATE AND Q Nordic The Nordic electric vehicle sales in Q3 were slower than Q2 in 3 out of 4 countries, with Denmark being the exception. Still, sales are rising year-over-year. 13 DK NO SE FI jan feb mar Q apr may jun Q jul aug sep YTD % Q YTD 2014 EV SALES 2015 Q3 has continued the high sales of 2015 with a year-overyear increase in sales 64% compared to Simultaneously, however, the figures also suggest that the 147% increase in sales in 2014 will not be matched in Although Q3 was a good quarter, it didn t match Q it was slightly lower. Insero expects a stronger Q4 as this has been the tendency in both 2013 and The numbers on top indicate accumulated Nordic EV sales in the given period DK NO SE FI % EV SALES Q The relative development in sales in Q3 is somewhat lower than the previous quarter with an increase of 60% compared to a 87% increase in Q2. Interestingly, Denmark is the only country with varying sales over the 3 months, while the rest of the countries have seen continuously stable sales. In a relative perspective, Finland has almost tripled its sales compared to Q3 2014, while Denmark is not far behind. Both Norway and Sweden has seen minor rises. Jul 15 Aug 15 Sep 15 Q Q3 2014

14 2.

Van-segment Other 1% PHEV 4% 18% A-segment B-segment 2% 9% SEGMENTS SHARE OF 2015 SALES The B-segment has seen an increase of 2% since Q It now accounts for 9% of the total sales. The C-segment regained a lot of its earlier loss, now forming 28% of total sales. 28% C-segment The E-segment is up again by 4%, totalling 38% As expected, the Van-segment has seen a decrease in its share of total sales, going from 28% to 18% E-segment 38% 0% D-segment Although the number of PHEV models has increased, their share of sales has dropped to 4%.

15 2. SALES STATISTICS NATIONAL SALES FIGURES BY SEGMENTS YEAR-TO-DATE 2015 Norway Despite still being leader in the Nordic region, Q3 is the lowest selling quarter this year for Norway. 15 A-segment +74% B-segment C-segment D-segment E-segment PHEV Other Van-segment EV SALES 2015 The Norwegian sales YTD 2015 are 74% higher than the same period in 2014, down from 75% in Q2. Q3 was the lowest selling quarter of the year. On the other hand, month by month sales are consistently above vehicles. Plug-in vehicles still make up 20% of all sold passenger cars and vans in Norway. jan-15 feb-15 mar-15 Q1 apr-15 may -15 jun-15 Q2 jul-15 aug-15 sep-15 Q YTD 2015 YTD 2014 The sales figures are divided into segments (numbers above and percentages below) PHEV 20% E-segment 13% 0% D-segment Other Van-segment A-segment 0% 10% 2% B-segment 7% 48% C-segment SEGMENTS SHARE OF 2015 SALES The E-segment has stopped its decline and now accounts for 13% of total sales. The C-segment stabilised at 48%. The A-segment and Van-segment are unchanged. Generally, the distribution of Norway is resembling the distribution for conventional vehicles more and more, while still not being a perfect match.

16 2. SALES STATISTICS NATIONAL SALES FIGURES BY SEGMENTS YEAR-TO-DATE 2015 Sweden Slightly disappointing sales in Q3, as sales declined by 604 vehicles 16 A-segment B-segment C-segment D-segment E-segment PHEV Other Van-segment jan-15 feb-15 mar Q apr may jun Q jul aug-15 sep Q YTD % YTD 2014 EV SALES 2015 Q continues the very positive trend for this year. Although sales declined compared to Q2, it is still higher than any other quarter Sweden benefits from the PHEV models available, as these are very attractive due to the taxation system. Now, they make up 54% of the total sales. Comparing YTD 2015 with the same period last year shows a remarkable increase of 179%. Insero expects the positive trend to continue as more PHEV models are launched. The sales figures are divided into segments (numbers above and percentages below) Van-segment A-segment Other B-segment 0% 2% 6% 3% 21% C-segment SEGMENTS SHARE OF 2015 SALES PHEVs continue their strong grip on market shares and are up by 1% to now 54%.

It is the PHEVs that are driving the sales up. This indicates that we will continue to see growth in Finland in the coming months and years. Only Tesla manages to take a real share of the sales, while the other EVs are selling in 1 digit batches jan-15 feb-15 mar-15 Q1 apr-15 may - 15 jun-15 Q2 jul-15 aug-15 sep-15 Q YTD 2015 YTD 2014 The sales figures are divided into segments (numbers above and percentages below) Van-segment A-segment Other B-segment 1% C-segment 0% 15% 0% 1% D-segment 0% SEGMENTS SHARE OF 2015 SALES Plug-in electric hybrid vehicles increases to 60% of sales in 2015 compared to 53% in Still the largest share in the region. 23% E-segment The E-segment has increased to 23%, which Insero expects to be a result of Tesla opening their first dealership in the country. PHEV 60% The C-segment represents 15%, down from 18% but spread across a number of different models.

18 2. SALES STATISTICS NORDIC SALES IN THE A- AND B-SEGMENTS Nordic B-segment is continuing to grow while A-segment keeps declining. The two segments are almost equally sized % EV SALES IN THE A-SEGMENT Q % % % C-ZERO imiev ION ELECTRIC DRIVE E-UP! The A-segment share has dropped by 28% compared to Q This is the 2nd consecutive quarter where sales have dropped. Interestingly, both the imiev and the Ion have sold better than the previous year. The big decline is due to lower sales of the E-Up! With no new vehicles announced in this segment, Insero expects sales to remain at a low level, and drops of this size are not expected to happen again soon. jul-14 jul-15 aug-14 aug-15 sep-14 sep-15 Q Q The sales figures are divided into segments (numbers above and percentages below) +89% +81% % +111% Soul EV ZOE EV SALES IN THE B-SEGMENT Q The B-segment continues its positive trend, getting closer to the A-segment. Despite the Kia Soul now being available in Sweden, the majority of the increase is due to the Renault Zoe now being available without battery leasing. The Kia Soul EV still hasn t experienced great sales, but it is also suffering from not being available in Denmark and Finland. jul-14 jul-15 aug-14 aug-15 sep-14 sep-15 Q Q3 2015

Insero still expects the E-segment to decline slightly when Tesla launches its new Crossover SUV. As the availability date of the Model X is uncertain, Insero is unsure when this will occur. jul-14 jul-15 aug-14 aug-15 sep-14 sep-15 Q Q The sales figures are divided into segments (numbers above and percentages below) +36% +163% % % BERLINGO VITO e-nv200 PARTNER KANGOO EV SALES IN THE VAN-SEGMENT Q The Van-segment continues to rise with regards to sales in Q compared to the previous quarter. This trend is not as significant as expected though, as Q3 had only 248 vans sold across the Nordic Region. The Nissan e-nv200 seems to be the best selling van. The vans suffer from a shorter range than other EVs jul-14 jul-15 aug-14 aug-15 sep-14 sep-15 Q Q3 2015

28 4. CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE PUBLIC CHARGING POINTS AND PLUGS Nordic Constantly improving charging networks across the Nordic region. 28 Number of public charging points available (i.e. charging stations/poles) DK 282 NO SW FI Level 1 3,7-7,4 kw Level kw Fastcharging kw Denmark has added 77 charging points since Q2, which are primarily semi-fast charging points, but also a few fast chargers along the highways. Norway has removed some of the slowest charging points and continues to increase the number of accelerated and fast charging stations. Actually, there are 94 fewer charging points available compared to Q2. Sweden has increased their charging points by 68 but has slightly fewer fast charging points available. The rise in charging points are mainly due to the semi-fast charging points. Number of public charging plugs available (e.g. up to three plugs at one charging point) Schuko type 2 Type 1 CCS CHAdeMO Tesla SC other Finland has few charging points, but conversely each has a lot of plugs. Insero are beginning to get an overview of the Finnish charging network, but there are still lack of data. What we can say is that the network is expanding slowly. Note: no completely accurate numbers exist for the Finnish figures, however, Insero has been able to make solid extrapolations based on the information available. Insero has no accurate overview of all the types of plugs, which is why they are all filed under other DK NO SW FI

29 Nordic All of the Nordic countries have less than 3,500 vehicles per charging plug now, with Norway in the lead. At the same time, the plugs, on average, have faster charging than Q2. 29 Number of EVs per charging plug 10 9 EVs per plug DK: In Denmark, the EV/charger ratio is quite low, meaning that there are a lot of plugs available for the individual EV owners. The number of vehicles in general per plug has fallen from 2,412 to 1,762 over the last three months. 3 1 NO: Norway has a much higher ratio, but has also reached a maturity stage where the geographical spread is high. Their number of vehicles pr. plug is actually rising, as many of the Schuko plugs are being removed. DK NO SW FI Number of vehicles per plug SE: In Sweden, the number of EVs per charging plug continues its downward trend from 11 to 9 since Q2. There are still a lot of remote places that aren t covered in terms of chargers, but much of the dense populated regions is covered Vehicles per plug FI: The Finnish numbers are relatively low, but this is a result of the few EVs on the roads. Finland is by far the least developed country when it comes to e- mobility DK NO SW FI

31 5. INCENTIVES COMPARISON OF NATIONAL ECONOMIC AND CONVENIENCE INCENTIVES Nordic With Danish incentives settled, the incentives across the region are expected to remain unchanged for some time. Softer incentives might be phased out in Norway, while Finland may be introducing incentives before long. 31 Overview of incentives Tax incentives Financial incentives Convenience incentives Denmark Norway In Norway, they are still waiting for a plan to phase out some of the softer incentives.
