Quarter of all new cars sold in November fully electric
The UK hit a new electric vehicle (EV) sales record last month, with over 25% of all car registrations in November being electric – according to the latest statistics from New AutoMotive.
The record-breaking sales figures mean that the country’s EV sales have held their market share of more than 20% for the fourth consecutive month – also a new record. The figures also represent a 51% increase in EV sales when compared to November last year.
Meanwhile, new petrol car registrations crashed to an all-time low of 29% in November, pushing their market share down by more than a third since the beginning of the year.
According to separate Auto Trader analysis, the UK has reached “peak petrol” with the number of petrol cars on the road set to tumble by almost half over the next decade.
The forecasts from the UK’s leading online vehicle platform show the number of petrol cars in the UK’s car parc of 32.8m vehicles is set to decline from the current 18.7m to just 11.1m by 2034 as drivers move towards electric vehicles.
