Sales of used pure electric cars have reached a record high.
Some 16,775 used pure battery electric cars were bought in the UK between July and September, the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) said. That is 44.1 per cent more than during the same period last year.
Sales of used hybrid electrics were up 2.5 per cent year-on-year, but demand for plug-in hybrids fell by 5.8 per cent. The market share of all used electrified cars rose from 3.3 per cent to four per cent.
