Although the UK April car sales were massively impacted by COVID 19 we can draw a degree of cautious optimism from the statistics. SMMT vehicle data show that car registrations were down by 97.3% compared to April 2019, however the BEV (Battery EV) cars only reduced by 9.7% meaning that Battery EV’s outperformed the sales of Diesel vehicles. In total the share of all plug in sales (Battery and Plug In Hybrid) show a combined market share of 34.0% which was well ahead of Diesel sales at 25.0% and narrowly behind Petrol at 35.9%. Quite a milestone for the EV market. Source SMMT vehicle data:
