Switzerland April 2016

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

Tesla Edition

The Swiss EV market registered some 400 units last month, down 28% YoY, with the EV Share also down to 1.82%.

Looking at the models ranking, the leader Tesla Model S had an off month, selling only 98 units, down 16% YoY, but enough to keep its YTD position (Second Place) in its size class, ahead of the Audi A6 (469 units) and Mercedes E-Class (509), but behind the leader BMW 5-Series (589 units).

In a market with a soft spot for high powered sports cars, the BMW i8 performance this year is a bit disappointing, having registered 32 units, 9 less than in the same period last year and far behind the six-figures-class best sellers, like the Porsche 911 (478 units!), Mercedes-AMG GT (100) or even the Ferrari 488 GTB (61).

In the manufacturers ranking, Tesla is comfortably ahead, with 29% share, down 1%, followed by Volkswagen and Audi, both tied with 13% share.
