South Korean media: Tesla takes the top spot in the UK electric vehicle market, and BYD's ranking soars! On April 30, South Korean media "Digital Today" reported that the UK electric vehicle market is growing rapidly. In March, the market share of electric vehicles in the UK was 28.9%, compared to 22.9% last year. The sales volume of pure electric vehicles increased by 43%, while the sales volume of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles increased by 38%. The total sales volume of the automotive market was 357,103 units, an increase of 12% year-over-year. By brand, Tesla ranked first with a 10.5% share of the electric vehicle market. BMW (7.99%) and Volkswagen (7.97%) followed closely behind, while Audi, Kia, and Ford climbed to 4th, 5th, and 6th place respectively. Chinese BYD soared from 20th to 8th place, possibly due to the large-scale delivery of its Seagull sedan. The UK automobile market achieved the highest sales volume in March since 2019, clearly showing the momentum of economic recovery. In the UK, the mandatory zero-emission vehicle policy will continue to be strongly promoted after the first year of 2024, accelerating the popularization of electric vehicles. Despite industry demands for easing targets and raising cost concerns, the British government has set a 2025 zero-emission target of 28%. Therefore, it is highly likely that the market share of electric vehicles will further increase in the second half of the year.
