EV sales slide is becoming increasingly dramatic, Simi data show

Sales of electric vehicles continue to fall further behind last years numbers, according to figures published by the Society of the Irish Motor Industry .

So far this year, figures for electric vehicles are down 19.1 per cent on the same four months in 2023. That continues a gradual worsening of the figures over recent months. At the end of March, the year-to-date figure was 14.3 per cent weaker than last year. That compares with a 6 per cent rise in overall registrations so far this year.

“For businesses and their employees, extension of the Benefit-In Kind relief and thresholds at current levels beyond 2024, will create greater confidence that an EV is the right choice for their companies,” he said. He said data from the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association data showed that the decline in EV sales in Ireland in the year to March was the worst across the region.
