The Electric Vehicle market is charging ahead

Figures on the Ministry of Transport show EV sales hit a record in July ... the same month the Government's clean car discount started.

Sales of Electric Vehicles, new and used, skyrocketed last month ... hitting a record one thousand nine hundred and 44 sold.

That's more than a thousand above the previous record month in March this year.

Chair of Drive Electric Mark Gilbert says members have never seen consumer interest in electric vehicles so high.
