In 2020, the UK government brought forward its ban on the sale of new fossil-fuel cars and vans from 2040 to 2030. Consequently, sales of new and used electric vehicles (EVs) in the UK are expected to rise rapidly over the next decade.
Over the last few years, the UK automotive industry saw a substantial increase in the number of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles sold. Indeed, according to the latest UK car sales, they increased in 2021 by 76.3% on the previous year.
