BYD will be here soon. I think many people are waiting for them.
The swiss are a people of renters. Unfortunately many people don’t have great charging infrastructure provided by their landlord or the city/village.
Luckily most people who are renting are also very well served by public transport, which alleviates the issue somewhat.
I’m not surprised. I think we’re hitting a ceiling. We’re getting to a saturation point with EVs… where people who’d buy them have bought them, and those that haven’t don’t want one.
I fall in the latter category. I live in an apartment with no option to install a charge point at home. Hence I can’t have an EV. Public infrastructure for charge points is nowhere where it needs to be so hence… I can’t buy an EV.
This is a somewhat misleading headline: the market share of electric car sales as a whole is rising to 33.6%, it’s specifically full BEVs that are falling back.
Trains are better!
Even if I have to replace my car from petrol to EV. I have no charging station at our appartment. They should make a law on appartment parking slot.
EVs are only really a viable consideration if you have consistent access to affordable charging. Most public chargers fast or slow charge like 85..90 Rp/kWh.
At that point you might as well drive gas. My old shitbox used up to 9l/100km. My electric uses up to 20kWh/100km. At 90Rp/kWh I could fill up at 2 whole bucks per liter and break even.
Charging infrastructure is outright highway robbery here.
Global growth is from cheap Chinese EVs. Rich Switzerland buys expensive EVs, often Teslas. Musk went (even more) off the rails with his political shenanigans recently. People don’t want to be associated with Musk and stop buying Teslas.
Absolute BS!
How the fuck can a reputable paper post this?
Numbers are dropping like stones from the sky!
Just look to Germany and google:
EV sales declining….
Even If you give me one for free, I do not want to drive an exploding battery. Specially from a Nazi guy
Good, hope EV completely disspaears from this fucking earth … Green shit my ass.
Unsurprising the main increase in sales (40%) is in China where you can buy a very good and very cheap electric car, unlike Europe where they shove massive import taxes to those Chinese cars and put them at the level or still slightly cheaper than the European brands making it more difficult for people to access them and if you add the lack of infrastructure to charge the cars, no wonder that the sales of them stall in Europe altogether.
I don’t understand why this sub is so against EVs. Obviously public transportation is better, but I see so many gigantic gas SUVs on the road that could for sure be swapped with EVs.
The problem is chargers for rented apartments. I’m lucky that my company offers EV charging, but otherwise it would be kind of a nightmare. Currently looking to buy my own place and an electrified garage is a priority, at the very least as future proofing.
Now that Tesla isn’t a status symbol anymore the Swiss don’t care about electric cares any longer
Aqaba all who buys ev
No Teslarán.
The problem is that the swiss government isn’t doing enough to incentivize electric cars, it’s probably the worst country about this in Europe but the ev share is still fairly high. This means that with little incentives like the installation of ev charging point in renting garages could easily push the sell of ev in switzerland
I think it’s still a bit too early to make a final judgment. I myself would/will very much like to buy an EV. At the moment, however, the prices are still too high for me and the technology is not yet at top level for many “affordable” brands. I assume that there will be another big step in 5-10 years. Until then, I’ll drive my petrol car to death.
This isn’t due to the perceived or real complexities of EV ownership. This is just a normal market pattern. When something is new, it grows faster. Eventually, the newness wears off and it becomes just another product on the market. The growth in the report is almost entirely in countries where EVs are still pretty new to the market.
