The best selling automobile in Switzerland is now the Tesla Model Y. That’s not just electric cars, and it’s not just one month — it’s for the first 9 months of 2022. Furthermore, the Model Y’s older but somewhat smaller sibling, the Model 3, is the third best selling automobile … [continued]
The most purchased new car in Switzerland is a Tesla, according to a report by RebelinkPress, which cited Reuters, and a report presented by the Association of Automobile Importers, Auto-Suisse. According to the report, the market for new cars in both Switzerland and Liechtenstein ended 2021 with a 0.7% increase … [continued]
Switzerland is a top electric vehicle market in the world. So far this year, 7.5% of all auto sales in the country are full-electric vehicles (BEV). Another 19.3% are plugin hybrid sales, which brings the total plugin share to 26.8%. The top selling BEV on the Swiss market is the … [continued]
The Tesla Model 3 is in a class of its own. It’s quicker and more fun to drive than a BMW, safer than a Volvo, has better tech than a Mercedes, and often has a total cost of ownership similar to a Toyota Camry or Honda Accord. All of that makes it a highly competitive vehicle in several markets. Its biggest downside is that the starting price, especially in Europe, put it in the premium car class, and many consumers can’t afford a premium-class car.
I reported the other day that the Model 3 was the 10th best selling vehicle in Sweden in July. I also reported that the Model 3 was the 9th best selling car in the United States in the second quarter of 2019. Switzerland and Liechtenstein (which report sales together) top them both. The Tesla Model 3 was the 4th best selling vehicle in Switzerland and Liechtenstein in the first half of the year.
For this piece, I will use the information on Tesla’s website to determine if paying cash, taking a loan, or leasing is the best option if you want a Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus (SR+). The twist here is I did these calculations for Switzerland, Norway, the Netherlands, China, and the UK. These were some of the most popular markets for Tesla in Q1 2019. I added in the UK, since it has been suffering for 3 years and deserves some attention.
Indeed, I may very well have OCD. Rather than pick 10 like any normal blogger, I went ahead and picked 100 top EV stories for this end-of-year wrap up. And these follow the 33 I highlighted at the end of May. Incidentally, I didn’t aim for 100 but just happened … [continued]
Tesla Motors opened its first Supercharger station (Lully) in Switzerland yesterday. The station is available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, and no form of charge pass is required. Two charging stalls are located at the station, with each able to provide up to 120 kW of DC power at … [continued]
