Carla Achieves Second Profitable Month Amidst Strong EV Sales Growth

Carla, an online platform specializing in used electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrids, has reported its second consecutive month of profitability on an EBITDA basis, according to Dagens Industri. For August, the company achieved total sales of 177 million Swedish Kronor (MSEK), a significant milestone for the e-commerce business launched in October 2021. This sustained positive performance is evidenced by a 46 percent year-to-date sales increase in 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, with gross profit surging by 89 percent. A primary contributor to this success is Carla's B2B division, Carla Partner Services, which offers commission sales, vehicle reconditioning, and logistics. Patrik Illerstig, CEO and co-founder, conveyed optimism, stating that these consecutive profitable months bolster confidence in achieving full-year profitability in 2026. Currently, Carla holds the position of the second-largest player in the Swedish used EV market, following Hedin Automotive. In August, the Polestar 2 was Carla's best-selling model, with Tesla's Model Y and Model 3, Hyundai Kona, and Volkswagen ID.4 also ranking among the top sellers. The company underscores its commitment to transparency, service, and convenience, as reflected in its customer satisfaction metrics. Alongside the August financial results, Carla reported a Trustpilot rating of 4.6 and a Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 61. Since its inception, Carla has facilitated the sale of thousands of vehicles across Sweden.
