Deliveries this year have increased every month over the preceding month, according to the Go Ultra Low consortium of carmakers and government agencies in the U.K. This includes a 10% hike from January-March to April-June, the group says.
Plug-in hybrids accounted for 78% of the first-half total. More than one-third of the sales were in the metropolitan London area.
