UK electric‑vehicle registrations surged in August, climbing roughly 30 % compared with the same month a year earlier, according to the latest industry data. The jump reflects a growing consumer shift toward low‑emission models, buoyed by expanding charging infrastructure and the rollout of new incentives such as the £2,500 “plug‑in car grant.” Analysts note that the surge is being driven by a mix of affordable compact EVs and higher‑end models from both domestic and foreign manufacturers, while overall car sales remain flat. The trend underscores the UK’s accelerating transition to greener transport and hints at a potentially record‑breaking year for electric‑car adoption.
