I think that we have certain groups pushing the anti ev agenda and have jumped on one month’s data, which can be seasonal, plus amount of private buyers vs lease and company buyers make up the majority of monthly sales.
Again, incorrect. If you read the article it’s from the SMMT and the whole point of what they are saying is that they are asking for more support to push EVs, so they are very much pro EV, not anti. Your point about seasonality is also incorrect. It’s September this year versus September last year – same month, same season! They are highlighting September as it’s the month the cut off date being moved back was announced. You are correct, however, that the vast majority (93% in fact) of EV sales are to lease / company cars due, of course, to the massively lower company car tax on EVs.
