REPORT EV sales are on the up, but still behind Government targets
AFTER months of lacklustre showroom performance, Tesla is once again thriving in the UK sales charts following what has been called a “bumper” month for registrations, with one in four new car sales being an EV.
In June, the Tesla Model Y was the UK's bestselling electric car and the third-most popular car overall, closely followed by the Model 3, which was the sixth-most registered car last month.
This comes after sustained poor sales for Tesla; in May, Elon Musk’s EV brand was outperformed by BYD and Dacia. However, while Tesla’s market share is still marginally down from 2.29 per cent to 2.18 per cent year-to-date, it remains ahead of the aforementioned competition.

DEMOCRACY. Overrated, I reckon. Making a mockery of it are self-serving politicians of the local, national and international variety, occupying the left, right or centre ground. And because they go about their business almost unchallenged by the 42 million drivers in Britain and the circa 1.5 billion globally, they're getting away with dumping their own iffy brands of democracy on us.
