The UK market saw plugin electric vehicles take 16.2% share in April, up from 13.2% YoY.
Full battery electrics grew strongly YoY, while plugin hybrids fell. Overall auto volumes were down over 25% from pre-pandemic seasonal norms, at 119,167 units.
The trailing 3 months’ plugin share stands at 21.3%, up from 13.6% YoY. April is always a seasonal low ebb for plugins, but the key is the continued year-on-year growth. BEV share grew by a relative 66% and BEV volume grew by 41%. New seasonal highs for market share will continue to be broken in the months ahead.
Diesel share dropped to 5.6% from 9.9% YoY, with unit volume dropping by more than 50% to just 6,725 units.Tesla, as normal, made very few scheduled shipments to anywhere in Europe in April, so other brands had a chance to dominate the best-selling ranks, at least for a month.
