How many cars didn’t sell in 2020 and 2021?
1.5 million cars. You could argue that’s how many DIDN’T sell in the UK in 2020 and 2021. This is comparing the average of 2.4m for the three preceding years to the 1.6m registered in both 2020 and 2021. If we assume the cars we didn’t buy cost an average of £30,000...
A look into the cars registered in 2021

Government cut the plug-in grant
Staggered to report that the Government has cut the plug In grant to £1,500 (from £2,500) for cars costing £32,000 (down from £35,000) or less with immediate effect. We’ve posted three times in recent weeks about the need to keep the pressure up to get people to...

SMMT registrations show a rise in EVs
Analysis of the SMMT registrations stats to the end of October shows the ongoing rise of the electric car, with sales nearly double that of the same period in 2020. Registrations of PHEVs are up 90% and BEV 86%. Diesel, including MHEV, is down a colossal 24%, with the...
Thoughts on the Net Zero Strategy
Facts, facts, facts. It’s where we always look first. So we were interested to dig a little into the Net Zero Strategy: emissions taxonomy to better understand where the UK’s CO2 emissions are coming from. The graph below shows the split and you can see that transport...
