As the UK races toward a cleaner future, we’re seeing major momentum across policy, infrastructure, and market dynamics. It’s a pivotal moment for companies like AMP EV to step in, lead, and inspire. 🙌
Government Empowerment
The UK government has launched a £650 million Electric Car Grant (ECG), offering discounts of up to £3,750 for qualifying electric vehicles priced under £37,000. While this opens up new opportunities for affordability, it currently excludes several groups. Among them, an estimated 11,000 disabled drivers, as well as many accessible Motability vehicles. 🚗
Infrastructure Surge
Charging infrastructure continues to expand rapidly. Over the past year, the UK’s EV charging network has grown by 27%, meaning a new charging point is now being added roughly every 30 minutes! 🔌
Market Shifts & Brand Dynamics
July 2025 saw a 5% drop in overall new car registrations in the UK, yet Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) remain resilient. SMMT forecasts now peg their share of 2025 sales at 23.8%, up from 23.5%. Meanwhile, Tesla’s UK market share is slipping sharply as more affordable Chinese EVs like BYD surge in popularity. 📈
