The sales of Tesla's new cars have increased in the UK compared to last year in the month of June. This increase has been seen amidst the recovery of electric vehicle (EV) market. American auto company Tesla started delivery of its updated model Y last month. The sales of Tesla's cars in Britain have risen by about 14 percent. This information was given in the report of Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).
Registration of new cars in Britain increased by 6.7% to 1,91,316 units in June 2024, but sales are still less than the level before Covid-19. Nevertheless, June is the best performance of June after 2019. The demand for battery -powered cars rose 39% to 47,354 units. Now one in every four buyers are taking an electric car.
EV market challenges
SMMT Chief Executive Mike Hodge said that this increase in electric cars is still dependent on the big discounts and marketing of companies. This speed is less than the goals set by the government so far. According to SMMT, Tesla sold 7,719 cars in June, which is 14% more than the previous year. According to the data from another research group New Automotive, Tesla sales increased by 12% to 7,891 units in June, although the figures of both institutions are slightly different as their data collecting and counting methods are different.
Chinese company sales increased by 4 times
Despite the increase in June, Tesla's total sales in the year 2025 have reduced by about 2%. At the same time, the sale of Chinese company BYD has increased four times to 2,498 units. New Automotive says that the US company Ford's sale of electric cars has increased the fastest in the first half of 2025. This was more than four times as compared to last year.
Future needs and trade agreement
Deloite expert Jamie Hamilton said that for further move in the sales of EV, charging facilities are required to be better and comprehensive. This week a new trade agreement between the US-Bitten has come into force, under which British car companies will now be able to export vehicles to the US from low tariff i.e. 27.5% to 10%. This can greatly benefit the UK vehicle industry.
