The latest figures from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders show another boost in sales of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) with the number on the road expected to be close to half a million units by the end of the year.
Research by Donedeal, Ireland’s largest motor & classifieds marketplace has found that demand for second-hand premium EVs (defined as cars between one and four years old costing more than €30,000) had risen by 270% the the 12 months to January 2023. It is that the figures are so high because of the delays in having new models delivered.
