Tesla has surpassed Volvo to become the second-best-selling brand in four daily reporting European markets, including Spain, the Netherlands, Norway (update: not Denmark) and Sweden, according to data shared by EU-EVs.com (via @Roland Pircher) on Wednesday.

The figure places Tesla in second for quarterly deliveries in these four countries combined, behind regional leader Volkswagen.

Pircher also notes that Tesla surpassed BMW just three weeks ago, though the U.S. brand now appears to have surpassed the German luxury automaker by around 4,000 units. Other brands on the index include Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Kia and Skoda.

The news comes just a few days after Pircher pointed out Tesla’s record-breaking deliveries across Europe’s daily reporting countries last week.

Pircher has also noted that these four countries make up about 22 percent of Tesla’s sales across Europe, adding that similar quarterly records can be expected in the company’s top three markets: Germany, the United Kingdom and France.

Tesla has begun offering a number of incentives in Europe to help sell vehicles in the final quarter of the year, ranging from up to $5,500 off on demos and new Model 3 and Y units to offering 10,000km of free Supercharging on vehicle purchases.

Earlier this week, Tesla also reached a milestone of 100,000 vehicles registered in Norway, considered to be one of the world’s quickest countries to adopt electric vehicles.
