In June, new passenger car registrations in the United Kingdom increased by almost 26 percent year-over-year to 177,266. After six months of 2023, the total number of new registrations amounted to 949,720 .The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders reports that 44,470 new plug-in cars were registered last month . This result represents about 25.1 percent of the total volume .
Both all-electric and plug-in hybrid car sales increased noticeably compared to 2022, and we guess that this trend will continue in the second half of the year.PHEVs: 12,770 and 7.2% market shareSo far this year, more than 215,000 new passenger plug-in electric cars were registered in the UK, which is 29 percent more than a year ago and more than one-fifth of the market.PHEVs: 62,155 and 6.
This allowed to strengthen in the year-to-date standing, moving from seventh position to fourth position , just behind the third Nissan Qashqai .In the case of light commercial vehicles , some 34,630 units were registered last month . Out of that, 1,775 were all-electric , which translated to a market share of 5.1%.
It seems that electrification of the LCV segment lags behind passenger cars, despite that there are many all-electric van models available. Too high initial cost or lack of charging infrastructure must be still an issue, we guess.
