EVs make up around one in 30 used car sales

  • In the first quarter of 2025, 2.0 million used vehicles were sold in the UK, with electric models accounting for approximately one out of every 30 of these transactions.
  • This rise follows a recovering new car market that has boosted supply, while used EV demand grows amid limited private buyer incentives.
  • Petrol cars remained the top fuel choice with 1.1 million sales, but used electric car transactions surged 58.5% year-on-year to a record 3.3% share.
  • Experts note battery EVs average £3,000 cheaper than used combustion cars and attract buyers due to lower running costs, longer lifespan, and greater affordability.
  • Sustained EV growth requires fiscal incentives and a nationwide, affordable charging network to ensure broad access to zero emission motoring.
