March 2022: Plug-In Car Sales Almost Doubled in UK
Posted On: April 11, 2022

In March, new passenger car registrations in the U.K decreased by a noticeable 14.3% year-over-year to 243479, which is the weakest March since 1998.


The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders notes that results are so low because supply chain shortages constrain deliveries.


On the other hand, plug-in electric car sales expand quickly despite the challenging situation.


According to the official data, last month's passenger plug-in electric car registrations amounted to 55352, which is 41% more than a year ago and a new all-time monthly record.


Market share was close to 23%. Together with 27737 non-rechargeable hybrids (up 28.4%), the x.E.V.s (B.E.Vs, P.H.E.V.s, H.E.V.s) stand for 34.1% of the market.


The most important thing for us is that the all-electric car registrations reached a new all-time monthly record of 39,315 (up 79% year-over-year), which is 16.1% of the total market. On the other hand, plug-in hybrids are in retreat - down almost 8% year-over-year to 16,037.


So far this year, more than 93000 new passenger plug-in cars were registered in the U.K, reaching an average market share of over 22%.

My Take: The plug-In Hybrids are holding the switch back. They are horrible. Crappy ICE cars and crappy electric cars all rolled into one. The worst of both worlds.
