The Society of Motor Producers and Merchants (SMMT) studies that 44,470 new plug-in vehicles have been registered final month (46 p.c greater than a yr in the past). This consequence represents about 25.1 p.c of the entire quantity (it was 21.6 p.c a yr in the past).

Each all-electric and plug-in hybrid automotive gross sales elevated noticeably in comparison with 2022, and we guess that this development will proceed within the second half of the yr.

• BEVs: 31,700 (up 39%) and 17.9% market share
• PHEVs: 12,770 (up 66%) and seven.2% market share

The Tesla Mannequin Y as soon as once more achieved a spectacular success within the UK, turning into essentially the most registered new automotive in June, with 5,539 registrations.

This allowed to strengthen within the year-to-date standing, transferring from seventh place to fourth place (19,551 items), simply behind the third Nissan Qashqai (19,983).

No different stand-alone all-electric mannequin was capable of get into prime 10.

Within the case of sunshine industrial autos (LCV), some 34,630 items have been registered final month (up 31 p.c year-over-year). Out of that, 1,775 have been all-electric (down 12 p.c year-over-year), which translated to a market share of 5.1%.

Evidently electrification of the LCV phase lags behind passenger vehicles, regardless of that there are various all-electric van fashions obtainable. Too excessive preliminary value or lack of charging infrastructure should be nonetheless a difficulty, we guess.
