Record-High 25% of Cars Sold in UK in November Were Electric [Video]

The United Kingdom set a new record for electric vehicle (EV) sales in November, with more than 25 percent of total car registrations being for EVs, according to the most recent statistics from New AutoMotive.

The latest figures mean EV sales in the country have held more than 20 percent of the market share for the fourth month in a row — also a record-breaking number, reported Transport and Energy.

“November’s record EV registration figures – up over 50% compared to Nov 2023 – show that consumers are busting the myth that EV sales are falling. The ZEV Mandate is working and increasing numbers of buyers are recognising the hi-tech value and lower running costs of electric cars,” said Quentin Willson, advisory board member of EVUK and founder of FairCharge, as Transport and Energy reported.

Sales of gas-powered cars in Britain have fallen to a record low as manufacturers conserve supplies in order to meet strict EV targets, reported The Telegraph.
