Tesla UK Sales See 14% Year-over-Year Rebound in June: SMMT Data

UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 4 – Battery electric vehicle sales rose 39% in June to 47,354 units, driven by fleet demand and discounts, but remain below the UK government’s 28% target for 2025.

  • Tesla's vehicle deliveries in the UK increased by 14% compared to the previous year, reaching a total of 7,719 units in June, making it one of the company’s most successful months so far in 2025.
  • This growth occurred amid a broader UK car market recovery with 46,354 new EVs registered and new car sales up 6.7%.
  • Demand for electric vans rose 52.8% despite an overall van market decline, yet this remains below the government's 16% ZEV target for 2025.
  • Mike Hawes, head of the SMMT, highlighted that although electric vehicle sales show growth, this increase depends heavily on significant industry incentives and discounts and still falls short of required targets; he also emphasized that expanding and enhancing charging infrastructure is crucial for further market expansion.
  • Tesla also launched Full Self-Driving testing in Spain, expanding its European presence ahead of regulatory approval and potentially supporting further long-term sales growth.
