Synopsis
Electric vehicle sales figures in Clare are below 2023 levels for the sixth month in a row. Just 46 vehicles with an electric engine were sold here in July compared to 78 in the same month last year which indicates a year-on-year drop of 41%. In 2024 to date, electric sales are down 43% while diesel electric hybrid sales have dropped by 45% but petrol plug-in electric hybrids and petrol electric hybrids have seen increases in their respective sales figures of 64% and 10%. Director General of the Society of the Irish Motor Industry Brian Cooke insists Budget 2025 must bring improved incentives to make owning an electric vehicle a reality for more of the population.
