| Tesla is eating ICE's cake for breakfast in Switzerland |
New Year, Old Habits Edition
The Swiss EV market started the year with 454 units last month, up 63% YoY, a good sign for the rest of the year.
Looking at the models ranking, there weren't many changes regarding 2015, the Tesla Model S continues to impress, it is Numero Uno in the EV ranking, with 138 units, outselling their ICE competitors, Audi A6 (117 unis) and BMW 5-Series (107), only losing to the Merc E-Class (151).
The BMW i3 had only 17 registrations, its worst performance in 11 months, being outsold by the Renault Zoe (29 units), a mere blip or something to continue?
In the manufacturers ranking, Tesla continues to lead, with 30% share, followed by the #2 Volkswagen (20%) and #3 Audi (12%).
