1-2 For Tesla
The Swiss EV market registered some 680 units last month, up 26% YoY, the best result of the year, and although still in the red, the YTD numbers recovered, now down just 8%, with the EV Share recovering to 1.86%, closer from the 1.98% of last year.
The main culprit for this recovery was Tesla, which had a record month, delivering 315 units, almost half of the EV market last month, divided by 154 Model S and 161 Model X, which surged to the leadership in September, in its first real deliveries month.
With the newer Model X profiting from a long waiting list, it won't be difficult to see the American SUV win more Monthly trophies in the coming months, and reach the Second Place in the YTD ranking, which would be a first for Tesla, Gold and Silver in the same market.
But back at the Model S, despite YTD sales down 6% YoY, it is still enough to hold on to the Second position in its size class, staying ahead of the Audi A6 (1.080 units) and the Mercedes E-Class (927), with the leader BMW 5-Series (1.246 units) at a comfortable distance from the American SportsSedan Liftback.

Looking elsewhere, two good results stand out, with the BMW i3 registering 69 units (Year best) and the veteran Citroen C-Zero selling 12 units, its best result in four years(!), now imagine if they offered the little quirky car with a competitive price...
Reversely, the Nissan Leaf sales seem to have dried up, with only 9 sales in the last three months, it is its worst quarter in over four years, Nissan needs to refresh its line up (40 kWh version?) urgently, if it wants to keep up with the competition.
In the manufacturers ranking, Tesla reinforced its leadership, with 30% share, up 3%, followed by Volkswagen (12%), Audi (11%) and Renault (10%), all on the lookout for a podium seat.

Damn... Europe is looking at ~22-23k sales in September. That is a great month.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope 20+k sales is the new 10k+ sale.
