""In a week dominated by anti-net-zero press narratives and criticism of renewables...the stellar rise in EV sales in April suggests that consumers are listening to a different narrative.""
""Despite economic headwinds and uncertainty caused by shifting government policy and global tariffs, BEV sales remain 31.6% higher than during the same period in 2024 - a strong signal of consumer confidence in the EV market.""
In April, the UK witnessed a remarkable rise in electric vehicle (EV) sales, with battery electric cars capturing over 20% of new registrations. This reflects a 7% year-on-year increase, totaling over 24,000 new electric cars registered. Despite economic difficulties and a shifting political landscape, consumer confidence in EVs remains strong, with sales outperforming the previous year's figures. Campaigners hail this trend as a positive shift towards cleaner transport, suggesting a disconnect between political narratives and public sentiment in favor of electrification.
