Nissan Leaf vs BMW i3: used electric cars go head-to-head<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nWith around 750,000 EVs sold into the fleet market in the past three years now fuelling a used-EV sales mini-boom, the government\u2019s approach of stimulating company BEV sales through large benefit-in-kind tax discounts for company drivers appears to be being vindicated as the fastest way to reduce the UK\u2019s tailpipe emisssions.<\/p>\n
However the SMMT also continues to push for a new package of incentives for private buyers of new electric cars, as its data shows consumer interest in pricey new models is actually reducing as a percentage of market share. Latest new-car sales figures, also provided by the SMMT, show BEV sales are now running at 15.6 per cent of the total new-car market, a small decrease on the previous month, while private sales account for fewer than one in four electric-car purchases.<\/p>\n
With the government and car industry committed to a target of 22-per cent market share for BEV sales under the new Zero Emissions Vehicle mandate effective from January, the numbers are troubling. "The used-car market continues to grow strongly, with re-energised supply unlocking demand for pre-owned electric vehicles \u2013 the result being twice as many motorists switching to zero-emission motoring in the quarter,\u201d said SMMT chief executive Mike Hawes. \u201cMaintaining this momentum requires growth in the new-car market, to boost supply to the used sector and cement this success. Equally important is the urgent need for charging infrastructure rollout so that all drivers can have confidence in being able to charge whenever and wherever they need.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Autumn Statement is a key opportunity for government to introduce incentives and facilitate infrastructure investment. Doing so would send a clear signal of support for drivers, reassuring them that now is the time to switch to electric.\u201d<\/p>\n
