The UK new car market continues its upward trend with its ninth consecutive month of growth in April according to new figures released by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).
A total of 132,990 new car registrations were recorded last month but this is still -17.4% down compared to the same period in 2019.
The new car market is increasingly bullish, as easing supply chain pressures provide a much-needed boost. However, the broader economic conditions and chargepoint anxiety are beginning to cast a cloud over the market’s eagerness to adopt zero emission mobility at the scale and pace needed. To ensure all drivers can benefit from electric vehicles, we need everyone – government, local authorities, energy companies and charging providers – to accelerate their investment in the transition and bolster consumer confidence in making the switch.
Said Mike Hawes, SMMT Chief Executive.
