Sales of new electric cars continue to grow in the UK, with EVs accounting for a quarter of all new vehicle registrations in June.

Electric cars’ share of the new car market grew again last month but is still falling short of government-mandated targets.

Registrations of electric cars hit an all-time high in March as the new car market enjoyed its best ‘new plate’ month since 2019.

UK car makers have called for the government to ‘act fast’ to boost the country’s EV market and convert sceptics to electrification.
