Another anecdote: Drive Now (carsharing corp) has i3 in its fleet so you see a decent number of them in large German cities (like Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Cologne), definitely more often than Teslas:

Also in Copenhagen. They usually pile up around charger stations in the city.

Teslas are also very common on the streets. If you drive through the city you're bound to meet at least 3-6 Teslas.

In Amsterdam almost all airport cabs are Teslas.

Cabs are Teslas? That's interesting, I wonder what drives that? Lack of gas costs?

A lot of facilities have a need to reduce local air pollution. That's why you see construction sites and ports using biodiesel, and airports providing electric plugins for parked planes, instead of using diesel generators.

I have no idea if this airport is under such a mandate, but it wouldn't be surprising.
