Switzerland June 2015

Record Tesla Edition

The Swiss EV Market registered a fourth consecutive sales record (!), this time with 544 units, and with the EV Share rising again to 1,42%, one might consider this market to be on fire, doubling last year share (0,75%) and being already the Sixth highest EV Share market in the world.

If the BMW i3 amazed everyone in May, with a record 194 sales, it was time for Tesla to respond in June, with the american carmaker sales going through the roof, with a record 253 units, representing almost half of the total EV market and recovering the monthly sales record for a single model that BMW had stolen in the previous month.

Not only that, but this brilliant result allowed the Model S to be #36 in June's general ranking and score its first #1 in the large sedans class, ahead of the Audi A6, Merc E-Class and BMW 5-Series.

The BMW i3 sold 99 units, its best result ever if we exclude May's outlandish result, but this brilliant result was dwarfed by the stellar result of the Model S.

The rest of the competition had average months, with the exception of the Renault Zoe, selling 43 units, its best result this year, cementing its Bronze medal.

Looking at the BEV/PHEV share, plug-in hybrids currently account for 25% of sales, close to the 29% record held in 2012 and 2014, with the success of Tesla is stopping the PHEV rise that we have been witnessing in other markets.

In the manufacturers ranking, there was another leadership change, with Tesla recovering the Best Selling Throne, with 28%, dropping BMW to Second (22%), while Renault (14%) hangs on to Third, despite VW (13%) staying dangerously close.
