PHONE-IN
Car manufacturers have called for urgent action to reignite the switch to electric vehicles after sales figures suggest slowing demand among ordinary motorists for battery-powered cars. While overall UK registrations grew by 1% in April year-on-year to 134,000, the increase was caused by fleet sales, with private buyer sales down by almost 18% on last year. While the industry expects the figure to improve this year, the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) said that BEV sales would be below UK government targets of 22% of all new cars, and called for steps to 're-enthuse' buyers, including tax cuts, incentives and more chargers.
