So, the figures are in and the UK has enjoyed a record for electric vehicle sales during 2018!

Plug-in models sold just short of 60,000 vehicles, according to the figures from SMMT – Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders.

Breaking it down; Pure electric Vehicles – 15,474 (YTD) Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles – 44,437 (YTD).

What does EVs look like compared to the Diesel and Petrol registrations?

When you look at the percentage change year on year these figures are very promising with Diesel decreasing by -29.6% and the AFV (alternative fuel vehicles) increasing by 20.9%.  It’s clear people and fleets are switching to alternative vehicles like EVs!
