🚘Figures for January EV registrations have been released by the @SMMT 🔋29,654 new BEVs were registered - 20.6% of all new cars registered in January 📈 As of the end of January 2026, there are now over 1.86m fully electric cars in the UK Find out more⤵️ released.by

⚡️Almost half a million (473,348) new BEVs were registered during 2025 – more than in the whole of 2021 and 2022 combined. 🥈This huge volume, which is likely to place the UK as the second biggest EV market in Europe by volume, saw BEV market share rise to reach 23.4% – a strong uplift, but with a mandate target of 28% the gap between demand and ambition is increasing rather than diminishing smmt.co.uk/uk-new-car-mar…
