UK Plugin EV Share Up YoY, Volkswagen Wins In April
Full battery electrics grew strongly in both share, and in volume. Overall auto volume was 132,990 units, up 11.6% YoY, though still down from the roughly 170,000 pre-2020 seasonal norm. The UK’s best selling BEV brand in April was Volkswagen.
Tesla, the long-term favourite, settled for 3rd spot in April, being in an off-month for international shipments. The Model Y, however, remains the year-to-date best selling BEV in the UK , with 11,503 sales. Whilst March saw a huge 8,123 units, April dropped off to 1,550 units. The latest generation Zoe is still available, with a decent range , but its slow charging speed versus rivals like the Stellantis cars , the VW ID.3, and now the MG4, is really making it seem technically outdated, especially for occasional longer trips. Renault also made missteps around cutting the Zoe’s active safety systems, leading it to drop its score in the ever-evolving EuroNCAP safety rankings — all important for a family car.
