The UK auto market saw plugin electric vehicles take one-third share of the auto market in December, up from 23.4% a year ago. Over a quarter of all auto sales were full battery electric vehicles. Tesla made a large push in December, making the Model 3 the 2nd best selling vehicle (of any powertrain) in 2021. The full year auto market was down almost 30% from pre-pandemic volumes.
December’s combined plugin share of 33.2% comprised 25.5% full battery electrics (BEVs) and 7.7% plugin hybrids. This continues a recent shift in weighting towards BEVs over the whole of 2021. PHEVs have stayed mostly in the 6% to 8% range during 2021, and may have plateaued, for now at least. [The total of all cars with an electric engine, i.e., including simple hybrids, was a remarkable 56.5% in December]
The Q4 2021 combined plugin share was 28.1% (19.8% BEV, 8.3% PHEV). This is up from Q4 2020’s combined share of 17.0% (10.7% BEV, 6.3% PHEV). Notice that BEVs got close to doubling their share over the 12 months.
Full year 2021 plugin share was 18.5% (11.6% BEV, 6.9% PHEV) from 10.7% in 2020 (6.6% BEV, 4.1% PHEV).
