In July, the UK’s new car market saw remarkable growth, with one new battery electric vehicle (BEV) being registered every 60 seconds.
According to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), registrations of new cars surged by 28.3% in comparison to the same month last year, marking the 12th consecutive month of year-on-year increase.
Electrified vehicles, including hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and BEVs, together made up 35.4% of the market in total.
Despite mounting pressure from some MPs and peers to extend the deadline, the government maintains its stance on promoting zero-emission vehicles to mitigate environmental impacts.
