Tesla registrations were 203 in April, down from 1,052 a year before.
It was one of the worst-performing automakers for the month in the Nordic country, and sat in contrast to an overall 11% rise in new passenger vehicle registrations to 24,292.
Polestar Automotive, a Swedish electric automaker and one of Tesla’s competitors, saw its sales hit 535 in April, an 11.5% increase.
