The UK government's comprehensive regulations and incentives have significantly accelerated the growth of the electric vehicle industry, fostering both consumer adoption and manufacturer innovation

  • The UK EV industry has experienced rapid growth, significantly propelled by government regulations and incentives aimed at reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable transport. The British government has set ambitious targets, such as the ban on new petrol and diesel cars by 2030, under its broader strategy to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. To support this transition, the government has implemented various incentives, including grants for electric cars and subsidies for home and public charging infrastructure. These policies have not only eased the financial burden on consumers but have also encouraged manufacturers to increase their offerings of electric models.
  • Furthermore, the government has focused on expanding the necessary infrastructure to support electric vehicles, which is crucial for widespread adoption. This includes substantial investments in charging networks across the nation, with aims to significantly increase the number of fast-charging stations. Policies such as reduced parking fees for EVs and exemptions from congestion charges in urban areas like London have further boosted the attractiveness of electric vehicles. The government's commitment is evident in its backing of projects like the Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme (EVHS), which provides funding for home charger installations, enhancing the practicality of owning an EV.
  • Manufacturers are responding to the supportive regulatory framework by committing to electric-only production lines and investing in local manufacturing of EVs and batteries, indicating a robust future trajectory for the UK's electric vehicle industry.

UK Electric Vehicle Market Trends

Policies and incentives of the UK Government are driving the surge in electric vehicle sales

  • Policies and incentive schemes by the UK government are driving the electric passenger car market in the country. For instance, in March 2022, the government announced plans to phase out fossil fuel-powered vehicles such as diesel and petrol cars, which will be replaced by all new zero-emission vehicles by 2035. Such factors are giving people second thoughts and shifting them to opt for electric cars. As a result, the demand for electric passenger cars increased by 18.40% in 2022 over 2021, also impacting the demand for battery packs positively.
  • The government of the UK is implementing various practices to increase the adoption rate of electric vehicles over ICE vehicles. In 2023, the UK government announced the rebates and subsidies offered to consumers opting for electric vehicles. The subsidy amount varies depending on the type of vehicle being purchased, with a maximum of up to 2500 pounds on an electric car. Such offers are encouraging consumers to invest in EVs, which is expected to accelerate the sales of electric cars during the 2024-2030 period.
  • Development and positive changes, such as infrastructure development in the UK electric vehicle industry, are increasing the sales of electric vehicles in the country. The UK government is committed to investing USD 1.96 billion to enhance and improve the charging infrastructure by deploying 300,000 public charge points by 2030. This will also contribute to the government’s aim to increase the electrification of vehicles in the country during the 2024-2030 period.

  • Vehicle Body Type - TUnder Passenger Cars, the category includes Hatchbacks, Sedans, Sports Utility Vehicles, and Multi-purpose Vehicles; for Commercial Vehicles, it covers Light Commercial Pick-up Trucks, Light Commercial Vans, Medium-duty Commercial Trucks, Heavy-duty Commercial Trucks, and Medium and Heavy Duty Buses; and for Two-Wheelers, it encompasses Scooters and Motorcycles.
  • Fuel Category - The category exclusively covers electric propulsion systems, including various types such as HEV (Hybrid Electric Vehicles), PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles), BEV (Battery Electric Vehicles), and FCEV (Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles).
Keyword Definition
Electric Vehicle (EV) A vehicle which uses one or more electric motors for propulsion. Includes cars, buses, and trucks. This term includes all-electric vehicles or battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.
BEV A BEV relies completely on a battery and a motor for propulsion. The battery in the vehicle must be charged by plugging it into an outlet or public charging station. BEVs do not have an ICE and hence are pollution-free. They have a low cost of operation and reduced engine noise as compared to conventional fuel engines. However, they have a shorter range and higher prices than their equivalent gasoline models.
PEV A plug-in electric vehicle is an electric vehicle that can be externally charged and generally includes all-electric vehicles as well as plug-in hybrids.
Plug-in Hybrid EV A vehicle that can be powered either by an ICE or an electric motor. In contrast to normal hybrid EVs, they can be charged externally.
Internal combustion engine An engine in which the burning of fuels occurs in a confined space called a combustion chamber. Usually run with gasoline/petrol or diesel.
Hybrid EV A vehicle powered by an ICE in combination with one or more electric motors that use energy stored in batteries. These are continually recharged with power from the ICE and regenerative braking.
Commercial Vehicles Commercial vehicles are motorized road vehicles designed for transporting people or goods. The category includes light commercial vehicles (LCVs) and medium and heavy-duty vehicles (M&HCV).
Passenger Vehicles Passenger cars are electric motor– or engine-driven vehicles with at least four wheels. These vehicles are used for the transport of passengers and comprise no more than eight seats in addition to the driver’s seat.
Light Commercial Vehicles Commercial vehicles that weigh less than 6,000 lb (Class 1) and in the range of 6,001–10,000 lb (Class 2) are covered under this category.
M&HDT Commercial vehicles that weigh in the range of 10,001–14,000 lb (Class 3), 14,001–16,000 lb (Class 4), 16,001–19,500 lb (Class 5), 19,501–26,000 lb (Class 6), 26,001–33,000 lb (Class 7) and above 33,001 lb (Class 8) are covered under this category.
Bus A mode of transportation that typically refers to a large vehicle designed to carry passengers over long distances. This includes transit bus, school bus, shuttle bus, and trolleybuses.
Diesel It includes vehicles that use diesel as their primary fuel. A diesel engine vehicle have a compression-ignited injection system rather than the spark-ignited system used by most gasoline vehicles. In such vehicles, fuel is injected into the combustion chamber and ignited by the high temperature achieved when gas is greatly compressed.
Gasoline It includes vehicles that use gas/petrol as their primary fuel. A gasoline car typically uses a spark-ignited internal combustion engine. In such vehicles, fuel is injected into either the intake manifold or the combustion chamber, where it is combined with air, and the air/fuel mixture is ignited by the spark from a spark plug.
LPG It includes vehicles that use LPG as their primary fuel. Both dedicated and bi-fuel LPG vehicles are considered under the scope of the study.
CNG It includes vehicles that use CNG as their primary fuel. These are vehicles that operate like gasoline-powered vehicles with spark-ignited internal combustion engines.
HEV All the electric vehicles that use batteries and an internal combustion engine (ICE) as their primary source for propulsion are considered under this category. HEVs generally use a diesel-electric powertrain and are also known as hybrid diesel-electric vehicles. An HEV converts the vehicle momentum (kinetic energy) into electricity that recharges the battery when the vehicle slows down or stops. The battery of HEV cannot be charged using plug-in devices.
PHEV PHEVs are powered by a battery as well as an ICE. The battery can be charged through either regenerative breaking using the ICE or by plugging into some external charging source. PHEVs have a better range than BEVs but are comparatively less eco-friendly.
Hatchback These are compact-sized cars with a hatch-type door provided at the rear end.
Sedan These are usually two- or four-door passenger cars, with a separate area provided at the rear end for luggage.
SUV Popularly known as SUVs, these cars come with four-wheel drive, and usually have high ground clearance. These cars can also be used as off-road vehicles.
MPV These are multi-purpose vehicles (also called minivans) designed to carry a larger number of passengers. They carry between five and seven people and have room for luggage too. They are usually taller than the average family saloon car, to provide greater headroom and ease of access, and they are usually front-wheel drive.
