UK becomes Europe's top electric vehicle market, seeing a 21.4% rise in EV sales in 2024.

The UK has become Europe's largest market for electric vehicles (EVs) in 2024, with 381,970 battery electric vehicles sold, up 21.4% from the previous year. This rise is due to cheaper EV prices and the government's zero-emission vehicle mandate, which requires 22% of new car sales to be electric. Despite this growth, the UK still fell short of the 22% target, with EVs making up 19.6% of the market. The UK government plans to ban the sale of new diesel and petrol cars by 2030.
