There is a current boom in interest for hybrids.
The company’s latest 2022 Hybrid Car Buyers Survey found that besides merely showing iterates online, there has been a 64% increase in legitimate enquires since 2021.
“That said, as an industry, we are in the process of transitioning into a market which is geared and prepared for new energy vehicles at scale. Hybrid vehicles – which, thanks to the escalating fuel price, are now more popular than ever before – offer a bridge into electric powertrain modes of transport. But there’s little research into the hybrid market available to the industry,” he added.
Over 60% of South African consumers have never experienced driving a hybrid car, and less than 5% have owned one, said AutoTrader. Total NEVs sales between August 2021 and 2022 reported a 1011% increase. Traditional hybrids saw an 1885% increase year on year, while plug-in hybrids reported a 175% uptick, reported the association.
