EV ownership in the UK was up 71% last year - but overall car ownership was down for the second year in a row. The SMMT has blamed the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as part shortages, for the downturn. Full report:
The SMMT also noted that the average age of UK cars has hit a record high of 8.7 years, which it says serves as proof of “the greater reliability of new vehicles”.Despite the downturn in car ownership, the overall number of vehicles on UK roads increased to 40,506,971, up 0.4%. This was down to a bumper year for light commercial vehicles, with ownership rising by 4.3% to 4,804,833.
Around 58% of EVs are owned by businesses, rather than people. This, the SMMT said, shows that businesses receive better and “more generous” incentives to make the switch than those offered to private individuals.
