This is a decline from the year before which had 22,079 first-time registers by its third quarter. The Kia Niro EV ranks in third place, with a total number of 9,367 first-time registered electric cars. This is 4% higher than the year before. With refined styling, next-generation technology and smart features, this all-electric vehicle offers value for money, starting with a retail price of just £36,795. The experts at DriveElectric also predict that electric vehicles will out-sell traditional ICE vehicles by 2023. Mike Potter, CEO of DriveElectric says: “After the government's announcement of the ban on new petrol and diesel cars, there has been a lot of speculation as to what the used car market will look like after 2030. “From 2030 onward, those buying new cars will primarily only have a choice of battery-electric vehicles or cars fuelled with hydrogen. “Although buying and selling used ICE cars will still be allowed, it is expected that the resale values of traditional ICEs will most likely take a huge hit due to a fall in demand.�?? Further insights: - The Tesla Model 3 EV saw a sales increase of 42% in just one year with over 76,000 being licensed as of September 2022. - EVs have a market share of 32.9% in the UK. - 137,498 Battery Electric Vehicles were registered in 2022, whereas only 132,292 petrol cars were registered.
