New data from cap hpi shows that only 17% of independent UK dealers stocked and advertised an electric vehicle last month, according to cap hpi.
Commenting on the data, Derren Martin, director of valuations at cap hpi, said: “Our data shows that many dealers seem reluctant to stock EVs despite rising demand from consumers. If the ZEV mandate is to work effectively, every new car needs a used buyer later in life, and dealers have a role to play in building their local markets.
“At current prices, many used EVs represent great value to drivers against new and a low total cost of ownership. Our data shows that many EVs are a great profit opportunity for dealers and tend to sell quickly from forecourts.”
