Market Growth Factors
The government has been the first major driver of growth in the Switzerland electric vehicle market, through the provision of generous subsidies, tax exemptions and rebates to electric vehicle buyers. The government in 2022 further suspended the 4% automobile import tax in the case of purchase of new EVs. In addition to such fiscal measures, strict CO2 emissions standards were introduced for consumers and manufacturers of green vehicles. Tax breaks and subsidies for alternative energy vehicles and stations have also been offered by cantons and municipalities, but incentives for hybrid electric cars are being phased out.
The second is the rapid expansion of EV charging infrastructure. A meaningful investment is made in the construction of a thorough network of charging stations across the country, easing range anxiety and making EV ownership more convenient. For example, in January 2024, responsAbility Investments AG invested up to USD 25 million in India's EV ride-hailing and charging platform BluSmart to expand the EV charging infrastructure. The company has also raised USD 24 million equity capital and USD 200 million in long-term financing for building, owning, and operating sustainable EV assets, expanding the charging infrastructure systematically.
A third factor is a steady increase in the price of fuels and the growing awareness of the environment, along with advances in battery technology, that improves overall vehicle performance and driving range, and minimizes time spent recharging relative to conventional vehicles. Coupled with the automotive industry in Switzerland, which continues to grow at a steady rate, this fuels the rapid growth of the Swiss shared mobility market (CAGR, 19.70%, 2025-2033).
