UK car sales rise in June as EV share hits 30%, industry data shows
New AutoMotive said battery-electric vehicles reached nearly 30% of the market as higher fuel prices and the ZEV Mandate lifted demand.
- British battery-electric vehicle registrations jumped 38% in June to 64,440 units, according to New AutoMotive data released Friday, pushing EVs to nearly 30% of the new car market.
- The ZEV Mandate requires an escalating share of zero-emission sales annually, while higher fuel prices shifted the math for British buyers weighing electric options against petrol alternatives.
- Tesla registered 12,403 battery-electric cars in June, a 42% rebound, while Chinese automaker BYD registered 2,999 vehicles; Tesla's British volume dwarfed BYD's performance.
- According to ACEA, battery-electric share across the broader Europe, EFTA, and British region sat at 19.7% year-to-date through April, showing June's British performance significantly outpaced regional averages.
- With electricity rates climbing nearly 10% last year, home solar protects against future rate increases; owners can explore PPA options through EnergySage to reduce charging costs.
