flag UK EV sales surged in 2025, with Chinese brands leading, but infrastructure gaps hindered reaching 2025 zero-emission goals.

flag In 2025, sales of electric vehicles at Busseys in Norfolk more than doubled thanks to Chinese companies like BYD, which overtook Tesla as the world's leading EV seller. flag A record 473,300 EVs were sold in the UK, with almost one in four new cars being electric and almost 30% being manufactured in China. flag The UK fell 92,000 units short of its 2025 zero-emission target despite a 12% increase in overall sales, with poor charging infrastructure being identified as a key obstacle. flag A new 3p-per-mile EV tax beginning in 2028 may discourage buyers, while a planned 2030 ban on new gasoline and diesel vehicles may be postponed. flag However, almost two-thirds of drivers in the UK are thinking about buying an EV, and one in three new cars sold in December were fully electric, contributing to the annual registrations surpassing two million for the first time since 2019.
