In October, new passenger car registrations in the United Kingdom increased by 14 percent year-over-year to 153,529, which marks the 15th month of consecutive growth. After ten months of 2023, the total number of new registrations amounted to 1,605,437 (up almost 20 percent year-over-year).<\/p>\n
The plug-in electric car expansion is even faster, which means that plug-ins were able to slightly increase market share.<\/p>\n
The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) reports that 38,228 new plug-in cars were registered last month (33 percent more than a year ago), which is 24.9 percent of the total market (compared to 21.5 percent a year ago).<\/p>\n
In October, all-electric car uptake recorded its 42nd consecutive month of growth, reaching 23,943 units (up 20 percent year-over-year). Interestingly, plug-in hybrids surged by almost 61 percent year-over-year to 14,285.<\/p>\n
