EVs in Switzerland continue to carve out a significant portion of the market, however the number of registered EVs is down from 2023. 

Switzerland has ended the EV tax exemption with effect from the start of 2024 which has seen market growth dip. As a country with no car manufacturing it is dependent on imports, mainly from other European countries. Although not in the EU Switzerland is replicating the policies which will see petrol and diesel vehicles banned by 2035 to ensure the market will keep pace with its neighbours. 

It will be essential that Switzerland is able to supply the demand for EVs in the coming decade.
