Orders for electric cars rose by 34.2% to reach almost 44,000 deliveries last month, official data shows. Experts say it should 'finally put to bed the old chestnut that drivers don't want EVs'.

Hybrids, plug-in hybrids and EVs now account for 65.7 per cent of all new car registrations as sales continue to rise ahead of the new 262 plate

The monthly sales record comes as nearly half of all new vehicles sold last month were either an EV, hybrid, or plug-in hybrid.
