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. Additional registrations from used imports during the period accounted for a further: 1,553 BEVs, and; 3,241 PHEVs.
