EV adoption ramping up.

Maybe it's me, but I can't watch it. (Have you seen "Who Killed the Electric Car?" and its sequel "The Revenge of the Electric Car"? Great viewing.)

Saw the first one. Didn’t know about the sequel. Will look for it.

I know this is a positive thread but more and more I notice that incompetent drivers are also in electric cars which by itself isn’t an issue but when they now have much more power and torque available to them makes them feel even more untouchable.
I also don’t wonder anymore why people complain about range: they literally just floor it at every junction just like they did before and get bad economy but they did before too so no change there.

...we will need your help to start spreading the word about the Electric Vehicles UK super site.

But first, here's what we had to say about the good news emanating from November's new car sales, and remember that the even more important used market is growing fast too.

EVUK Responds to Bullish New AutoMotive EV Data – Consumers Clearly Trending to BEVs

The UK hit a new electric vehicle (EV) sales record last month, with over25% of all car registrations in November being electric - according to New AutoMotive’s latest Electric Car Count. That is the highest market share for EVs since December 2022.

Dan Caesar, CEO Electric Vehicles UK:

“The UK EV market is now more than 1 in 4 new car sales with enthusiastic buyers and remarkable used sales growth, up from almost 1 in 7 new car buyers and tame used sales this time last year, the trend is clear. This definitively demonstrates that real world consumers want battery electric vehicles.”

Fiona Howarth, CEO of Octopus Electric Vehicles:

“This shows clearly that EV sales are growing and that most car brands are making the transition successfully. The ZEV mandate is working, delivering affordability and choice for drivers, and huge private investment in public chargers. With consistent policy the UK can be a global EV leader.”

The record-breaking sales figures mean that the country’s EV sales have held their market share of more than 20% for the fourth consecutive month - also a new record. The figures also represent a 51% increase in EV sales when compared to November last year.

Quentin Willson, Founder FairCharge, and EVUK advisory board member:

“November’s record EV registration figures - up over 50% compared to Nov 2023 - show that consumers are busting the myth that EV sales are falling. The ZEV Mandate is working and increasing numbers of buyers are recognising the hi-tech value and lower running costs of electric cars.”

Andy Palmer, Founder Palmer Automotive and EVUK advisory board member:

“It’s clear from the latest number crunching by New AutoMotive that the trend is our friend, consumers are getting behind the wheels of EVs. 1 in every 2.8 new cars now has a plug while 1 in every 4 new cars is fully electric. Also, given uncertainty of 2030 to 2035 regs regarding the definition of hybrids [HEV], it’s noteworthy that 65% of sales are now with a battery and shows the dominance of electrification.”

Ginny Buckley, Founder Electrifying.com:

“New AutoMotive’s analysis of public data reflects the fact that the car industry has stepped up and introduced more affordable models, which is clearly having a positive impact on the uptake of electric vehicles. However, registrations to fleets and businesses - both heavily incentivised - are still driving this switch in the main, which is perfectly reasonable for a new technology. However, to enable more private buyers to embark on their electric journey, the Government needs to introduce incentives for both new and used electric cars. Buoyant sales of second hand EVs will be key to us hitting our net-zero targets more efficiently. They should follow the lead set by the Scottish Government and introduce a subsidised loan to help car buyers in the market for a used electric vehicle. This would not only help to increase demand, but could also make finance on new cars more affordable by improving residual values. This will ensure nobody gets left behind on the electric journey.”​
