Switzerland March 2016

If the S is shaking the Swiss market, then imagine what the X will do...

Tesla Shines Edition

The Swiss EV market registered nearly 600 units last month, up 12% YoY, with the EV Share up to 1.96%, almost on par with last year 1.98%.

Looking at the models ranking, the Tesla Model S showed a strong performance, with a near record 234 deliveries, cementing its lead the EV ranking, with 430 units and 30% share, but also disturbing their ICE competitors, outselling the Audi A6 (328 units this year) and Mercedes E-Class (335), while closing in to the leader BMW 5-Series (453 units).

Actually, March was a positive month for BEV's in general, with other all-electric models presenting good results: The Renault Zoe registered 52 units, its best result of the year, moving up one position to #4, the Nissan Leaf jumped six positions to #6, thanks to 49 deliveries, a personal best, and even the oldie Mitsubishi I-Miev rose four positions to #14, with the 16 sales registered last month being its best result in three years(!)...

In the manufacturers ranking, Tesla increased the lead, with 30% share, up 7%, followed by  Volkswagen and Audi, both tied with 13% share.
