On Monday evening, the government announced that anyone wanting to buy an electric car with the 70,000 kronor government rebate, would have to buy or order it before midnight on Tuesday.
This meant an extremely busy day for car dealers around Sweden.
"Since 8 o'clock this morning, the phones haven't stopped ringing," said Orod Ashkani, a car dealer in Åkersberga, on Tuesday afternoon.
