Interestingly, the sales of #electriccars to individuals fell by 14% (year on year) in September, while sales overall rose 19%, almost entirely accounted for by sales to fleet buyers.
This suggests the old-style company car tax reliefs are a more effective incentive to buy electric than the more focussed measures;
once again this suggests that the #Tories plans around the #greentransition are in disarray (or being undermined).
