Are EV sales finished.

EV Sales – the latest sales results have been released for YTD April 2025. There are a number of interesting trends starting to emerge. The key one we will be chatting about here is the declining amount of reported EV sales.

For the month of April there were 90,614 new vehicles delivered. For the year so far, total sales have been around 381,000 units. This includes some 13,000 heavy vehicles.

Of the sales over 41% were petrol. Second pace was diesel with 29.5%. Both those show a decline from last year. EVs account for less than 5% of recorded sales. This is about half of what they were for the same time last year.

The growth is in Hybrid and PHEV sales. These now account for about 20% of recorded sales. This is about 15% up on the same time last year.

This makes sense. Hybrids combine better fuel economy with zero impact on convenience. PHEVs also provide some EV only range and as technology improves that range also improves. However, they are still convenient to fill up when needed. \

Cars are a necessity for workers and a lifestyle choice for many buyers. The amount of people that want to waste their time sitting while their car charges or go to the expense of installing home chargers are dwindling rapidly.

So, the answer to the question Are EV Sales finishes” is no, they do have a key place in the automotive industry, but I believe they will never attain the total dominance some evangelists will have us believe.
