There are significant differences between the cantons: the frontrunner is the canton of Zug, with 12% of its cars being electric \u2013 more than twice the Swiss average. It is followed by Zurich with 7%, and Lucerne and Nidwalden with 5.8% each. The lowest figures are recorded in Geneva at 3.8%, and in Jura and Ticino, both at 3.9%.<\/p>\n

+ Cars in Switzerland: lower emissions, but plug-in hybrids pollute more than expected<\/a><\/p>\n

Among newly registered cars, the proportion of electric cars is significantly higher: between January and July 2026, battery electric vehicles (BEVs) achieved a cumulative market share of 24%, according to the importers\u2019 association Auto-Schweiz.<\/p>\n

This puts them well ahead of petrol-only cars (21%) and diesel vehicles (6%). Only hybrid vehicles sold even better, with a share of 37%; plug-in hybrids accounted for 12%.<\/p>\n
