A great month for the Swiss EV market, 203 units represents the second best-selling month ever (Last December saw 247 registrations), pulling the EV share to 0,54%, 0,10% above last year.
This month Tesla sold a record 105 units of its Model S, earning the third monthly #1 title (The previous were August and September '13), and the YTD title, with 133 units, now the question is: Can Tesla continue to grow and reach the E-Class best-selling models? That means some 200 units/month, ladies and gentleman, please take your bets...
Looking at the rest of the pack, in #2 we are starting to witness a fight between the Renault Zoe and the BMW i3, with two wins for Renault (January and March) and a tie (February), with just 21 units separating them in the YTD chart, this will be an interesting race to look at.
