Electric vehicle maker Tesla made record sales in the UK in 2021, and new car registration data show that it helped the country reach a new electric market share milestone — over 10 per cent of the auto market for the first time.
\nAccording to the auto-tech website Electrek, the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) released the December numbers along with the 2021 numbers. It showed that the battery-electric vehicle’s market share went up from 6.6 per cent to 11.6 per cent.
\nFor the first time in a long period, petrol-powered vehicle market share dipped below 50 per cent of the market, the report said.
\nTesla contributed the most to this milestone with the Model 3 being the best-selling EV in the market, it added.
\nWith car sales down across the board since the outbreak of the pandemic, it’s allowing EVs to capture more market shares.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
