UK plug-in car sales surge. Again.

 From InsideEVs

Plug-in sale more than doubled and the Tesla Model 3 was the best-selling car of any kind 

New passenger car registrations in the UK amounted to 186,128, although the growth rate of  28% year-over-year is considered "artificially lifted" as the 2020 year was affected by lockdowns.

The plug-in electric market on the other hand continues to expand at a rapid rate. In June, the number of registrations increased 131% year-over-year to almost 32,000. That's 17.2% of the market!

It's one of the best months ever and let's take a note that all-electric cars took more than a tenth of the market.
