More than one in four new car sales are electric as market shift away from petrol and diesel accelerates

Last month saw a significant surge in electric car sales, with over 25% of new cars sold being electric, marking a 34.2% increase from the previous month. This shift underscores a major trend away from traditional petrol and diesel vehicles, dispelling long-held beliefs that consumers are reluctant to switch to electric options. The substantial rise in orders suggests a growing market acceptance and possibly hints at a future where electric vehicles dominate the automotive industry, driven by consumer preference and environmental concerns.
