The first swiss Model S arrived in June |
Zoe vs Leaf Swiss Edition
With 121 units sold, it was another good month for plug-ins in Switzerland, with the EV share rising 0,02% to 0,33%, although still far from the 0,41% share obtained in 2012.
This good result is due to the particular competition between the Renault Zoe and the Nissan Leaf, respectively #1 and #2 in July, and at this pace, it won't take long for both to surpass the Twizy in the YTD ranking.
Looking at the BEV/PHEV distribution, this is another market where Plug-In Hybrids are losing ground to pure electric cars, in 2012 PHEV's represented 29% of the market, but now they just represent 15%, with the best selling PHEV, the Opel Ampera, now only fifth when last year it ended in #2.
