There are major differences between the cantons, as the Energie Reporter online platform from Energie Schweiz and Geoimpact shows.

The canton of Zug leads the way with an e-car share of 9.6% of the car population. It is followed by Zurich (5.6%) and Vaud (4.7%).

Electric cars have the lowest share in the cantons of Uri (3.1%), Geneva, Neuchâtel and Jura (3.2% each).

The Energy Reporter shows the development of the energy transition in the Swiss municipalities and cantons. Among other things, the platform uses publicly available data on electric cars.
