Electric vehicles (EVs) are on the rise around the world, in spite of the COVID-19 pandemic having perhaps slowed that down some.
Still, the plugin EV market share in Switzerland was up 156% in October 2020, with 2,963 total EV registrations, and with battery electric vehicles (BEVs) making up 57% of all plugin sales, as reported by EV Sales Blogspot.
While the Tesla Model 3 only sold 61 units in Switzerland in October, it’s still the year-to-date leader in the country with a total of 3,133 units sold in 2020. Second most in Switzerland in 2020 is the Renault Zoe, which sold a total of 214 units in October, making it the most sold EV in Switzerland in that month alone.

As EV market shares continue to grow around the world, it’s refreshing to see a number of brands competing with excellent products in the category. The more low-emission and zero-emission vehicles consumers have to pick from, likely the more they’ll buy. And thus, the transition to sustainable transportation will become easier and easier.
