Q1 - Q3 2023

Checking in on the year so far, for January - September 2023, plug-in vehicles accounted for 26.7% of all new cars registered in the period, comprised of:

• 21,705 (18.3%) BEVs, and;
• 9,989 (8.4%) PHEVs.

BEV numbers are up 50% on the same period last year (14,510), while PHEV numbers are up 34% (from 7,438). Interestingly, non-plug-in petrol hybrids registrations for the period (22,059) only exceed BEVs by 354 - it seems likely that BEV registrations will overtake them by year end.
