The total electric car parc of the United Kingdom reached over **** million vehicles as of the fourth quarter of 2023. This was a year-over-year increase of ** percent compared to the near **** million electric vehicles recorded in 2022. Similarities with the European market The UK's electric vehicle car parc comprised mostly battery-electric vehicles, relying solely on electric propulsion. This trend was boosted by rising battery-electric vehicle sales, which have been higher than their plug-in hybrid electric counterpart since 2019. This is in line with the overall European market, where battery-electric vehicles tend to record higher sales volumes in many national markets. As of 2022, the UK was among the leading European and global electric vehicle markets, ranking fifth in the world by electric vehicle revenue, and is projected to remain one of the market leaders through 2028. Opportunities for automakers In August 2022, around ** percent of consumers in the United Kingdom reported being likely to change their vehicle brand when switching to an electric vehicle. This creates opportunities for automakers to enter the United Kingdom's electric vehicle market. In 2023, Tesla held around ** percent of the UK's battery-electric market, about ***** percent higher than the share of MG, which was second in the ranking.

In 2023, around ******* new electric passenger cars were registered in the South East region of England, making it the largest electric vehicle market that year. The North West and South West regions also recorded high electric car sales volumes, at near ****** and ****** new registrations respectively.

In 2023, some ******* new electric cars were registered in the United Kingdom. This was a year-over-year increase of **** percent compared to 2022 and over double the sales recorded in 2020. Overall, electric vehicle sales have steadily grown since 2015. A growing electric vehicle market and fleet Electric vehicles have been gaining market share in the United Kingdom. Since 2021, battery-electric vehicles overtook diesel vehicles and have been the second most popular fuel type in the country through 2022. The South East was the region of England with the largest electric car market, at around ****** new registrations in 2022, followed by the North West and South West. This increase in sales translates to a sharp rise in the UK electric vehicle fleet, which surpassed *********** units in 2022. Most of the vehicles in the electric car parc were battery-electric. Charging infrastructure and its challenges While the UK electric car fleet is steadily growing, the public charging infrastructure has also been on the rise. By July 2023, there were over ****** publicly available charging points in the United Kingdom. However, most of these chargers were alternating current chargers, which were typically slower than their direct current counterparts. Accessibility is also one of the leading hurdles for the UK charging network. Most public charging points were destination charging, typically located at the end of a driver's journey in areas such as retail car parks or education areas, and were not open around the clock, which presents challenges in how electric vehicle owners can recharge their vehicles without turning to private home charging.
