While the overall passenger car registrations in the UK slightly declined in October, by 1.6% year-over-year to 140,945, plug-ins are selling like crazy
In total, 17,110 new plug-in cars were registered last month, which is not only 172% more than a year ago, but also 12.1% of the total market (better months were only April and May, affected by lockdown and closed showrooms).
Thanks to strong monthly results, also the year-to-date numbers are improving - already close to 126,000 new plug-ins were registered in the past ten months (132% more than in 2019 and 9.1% of the total market). Unfortunately, with the second lockdown, the future is unpredictable.
