Electric SUVs Beginning to Reshape the Family Car Market
Electric SUVs now lead family buying as EVs reach about 24% of UK new car sales, according to Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders data.
- The SMMT reported that EVs totalled around 24% of new car sales in 2025, marking an increase of roughly 5 percent from the previous year driven by wider model availability and lower running costs.
- Consumers increasingly prefer SUVs, which now represent seven of the 10 best-selling vehicles as families shift from conventional hatchbacks to more practical, family-oriented options.
- The government's Electric Car Grant scheme offers discounts of up to £3,750 on eligible vehicles priced at or below £37,000, making the switch to an EV increasingly attractive.
- Compare found that insurance premiums for EVs vary significantly, with the Fiat 500 costing £278 annually while the Porsche Taycan carries the highest median premium at £861.
- Despite recent growth, registrations remain below government targets set by the ZEV mandate, though charging technology now enables drivers to recharge from 10% to 80% in less than 20 minutes.
