Last year, over 381,000 electric cars were sold in the UK – more than any country in Europe, and the third highest number of any country in the world
Riiiight. Well seeing how the population is also the second largest in Europe, that’s a pretty useless statement. Per capita they aren’t even close the one random country (the Netherlands, my other nationality) that I checked.
381k for 70m people in the UK is 5442 per million.
168k for 18m people in the Netherlands is 9333 per million.
Germany, UK, France are the biggest markets, UK and France have the same population and the UK sold 100k more than France last year. So more per capita
Why are you only giving 2025 sales for Germany? Lies, damn lies, and statistics eh?
The UK is phasing out all ICE cars by 2030. The EU has just abandoned the pledge do to the same by 2035.
Phasing out manufacturing, not all cars, obviously
Is that the best you have got? The EU is winning the race to the bottom they screeched about during the ‘negotiations’, turns out we’d be in a worse place if we had agreed dynamic alignment

Lies and statistics.
Edit: Germany sold 184k in half a year last year and 248k in the first half of this year. https://www.reuters.com/markets/europe/germany-sees-record-e-car-sales-first-half-year-data-show-2025-07-16

Not at this rate they’re not.
Because they’re ALSO not going to, at this rate, they’re just admitting it.

Pretty fucking ironic
