The cantons of Zurich (4.9%) and Vaud (4.1%) follow far behind, with Uri (2.6%), Neuchâtel and Glarus (2.8% each) bringing up the rear. On average, 3.9% of cars on Swiss roads are currently electric.
In recent years, new registrations and thus the proportion of e-cars in the vehicle fleet have risen continuously. However, electric cars are currently experiencing a decline in demand: between January and July of this year, 24,821 "electric cars" were newly registered, over 7% fewer than in the same period last year.
