September saw plugin EVs take 29.4% share of the UK auto market, up from 23.4% year on year. Both BEVs and PHEVs grew volume YoY, by 24% and 32% respectively. Overall auto volume was 275,239 units, up 1% YoY, but still far below pre-2020 seasonal norms (350,000+). Tesla was the leading BEV brand in September.
If you include “self-charging” HEVs, it’s approaching 45%, but I’m glad they don’t. Still shows that a large part of the public aren’t worried by having “a battery that will die and need replacing at great expense”.
