Electric cars outsold every other powertrain in Britain last month

Battery-electric cars took a record 29.8% share of UK registrations in August, outselling every other powertrain, though year-to-date uptake of 25.6% remains below the 33% zero emission mandate. The Commission has proposed cutting the EU’s 2035 target from 100% to 90%, permitting plug-in hybrids and range extenders. Electric cars were Britain’s best-selling powertrain last month.
