United Kingdom – December 2014 & Full Year

U.K. was among the fastest growing plug-in vehicle markets, worldwide. Contributing: New, generous schemes for writing down company fleet vehicles emitting below 95 g CO2/km (100% first-year allowance for depreciation), availability of new entries, a rapid expansion in charging infrastructure, and higher awareness. Growth rates varied by month, but at the end of 2014, sales stood at 13900 units, 3,7 times the volume of 2013. Plug-in vehicle volume was still only 0,5 % of the U.K. light vehicle market.
