One in four cars sold in the UK last month was electric, according to industry figures, but new registrations were driven by steep discounting.
Electric car sales grew in November for the 11th consecutive month, according to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) as carmakers raced to meet tough targets.
Manufacturers gave “massive” discounts worth around £4bn on electric vehicles (EVs), the SMMT said.
However, companies will miss government sales targets for EVs this year and are likely to have to make huge payments to keep in line with the rules.
