Counts are auto-schweiz's monthly workbooks for Switzerland and Liechtenstein, new passenger cars only: the model table is the month's difference of the publisher's cumulative year-to-date table, the brand rows sum to the month exactly, and the BEV and PHEV columns come from the plug-in workbook (official and parallel imports, so a few percent below the fuel block). Percentages are shown only when the comparison month has at least 30 registrations.
