In Ireland in the first three months of the year 21 per cent of all new cars licensed were electric or hybrid according to the CSO.
The figure was more than double for the same period in 2021.
15,585 new cars were licensed in total during March, an increase of 5 per cent on the previous year.
Although things had been pretty dire last year due to lockdowns and all that. The Irish economy certainly seems more buoyant in outlook than the UK’s, following the new car metric.
