The sensible Zoe won the Best Seller Crown in Switzerland |
BMW #1 in December, Renault #1 in 2013 Edition
A great month for the Swiss EV market, 247 units represents the best month of the year by far, pulling the EV share to 0,44%, 0,03% above last year.
This month the zippy BMW i3 made a splash with 85 units, earning BMW the first monthly #1 title anywhere, but the YTD title went for the Renault Zoe, with 342 sales, in #2 we had a change in the last month of the year, with the Model S climbing to #2, relegating the Twizy to #3.
In the middle of the YTD chart, we assist a curious tie, with both Chevrolet Volt and Opel Ampera selling 71 units.

In 2014, both BMW and Tesla will surely fight with Renault for #1, pulling the sales to some 2.000 units/year.
