Switzerland is now making some waves on the EV scene.
To that end, Tesla sold 5,072 units of the Model 3 sedan in Switzerland in 2021. The closest Model 3 competitor in the country was the internal combustion engine Škoda Octavia, with 4,969 units sold.
The closest electric vehicle that came anywhere near the Model 3’s sales was the Volkswagen ID.3, which came in 19th place on the 2021 Swiss car sales chart. Volkswagen sold 2,423 units of the ID.3 in Switzerland last year. According to the Swiss Federal Statistical Office, electric vehicle adoption in the country is growing at an exponential rate. Comparing Nov 2021 to Nov 2020, new car registrations for electric vehicles grew an impressive +63%.Interestingly, the sales of petrol and diesel vehicles dropped by 27% and 59% respectively. Hybrid vehicles remained somewhat stable. But electric vehicles made a big jump last year in Switzerland — and the lion’s share of the credit goes to Tesla.
