Numbers of ULEVs has risen over a year.

It comes amid government efforts to make low emission vehicles more accessible for households around the country, including by raising the number of public electric vehicles charge points and making at-home charging easier.

Campaign group Friends of the Earth welcomed the increasing number of ULEVs in the UK but said more must be done to ensure equal access to electric vehicles across the country, particularly for low-income households.
