The new electric Skoda Enyaq Coupe is incoming

Our Latest Incoming New Car - The electric Skoda Enyaq Coupe

At February 2025 the good news for the EV industry is still ongoing with new, and used, sales still being transacted at healthy levels. As reported in SMMT  the EV share is continuing to grow in the UK market with January 2025 setting out some robust registrations.

For the BEVs, there were 29,634 registered, which is a market share of 21.3%. While manufacturers do need to track for 28% in line with the ZEV Mandate, the statistics do show improvement compared to January 24. At this point last year, the UK registered some 20,935 BEV units, so a 41% increase in productivity is not to be scoffed at.

A total of 139,345 new car registrations (which is 2.5% behind last year) does mean that battery and lithium-ion tech is still in favour compared to petrol and diesel options. There are some concerns about the longevity of the EV market, with a few obstacles noted. Aspects like the VED changes to zero-emission vehicles, expensive car supplement (for those cars above £40,000) and manufacturer investment and discount are still a cause for concern.

Mike Hawes, the Chief of the SMMT, actually identifies that this is something which does need addressing by the government if the pro-EV message is to continue.

On the other hand, the government has been announcing more positive news to couple the taxation changes. Last week (29 January 2025), Rachel Reeves confirmed that £65m would be made available to Connected Kerb, in order to accelerate the expansion of the on-street charging facilities.

Provided by the National Wealth Fund (NWF) the finance will be supported by a £10m contribution from Aviva Investors, as part of supporting the ambitious aim to create 40,000 sockets in the UK.

As one can gather from the above, the increasing volume of EVs on our roads is an amazing achievement but with this comes a responsibility to ensure that our electricity network and charging network are secure enough to allow all types of drivers access to the necessary facilities.

The Connected Kerb group are looking to become the UK’s leading public charge group with a swathe of investment making this the 2nd biggest as at 2025. Their modus operandi is to enable those EV customers without driveways to be able to charge their vehicles appropriately.

Regardless of the deals, the range of the vehicle or the aesthetics, if we cannot properly manage the infrastructure underpinning this transition, then the registrations above will soon diminish. We are now relying on the Government to more proactively manage this system, utilising the proceeds of the increasing tax on EVs to re-invest into the ecosystem which supplies them.

Introducing the new Skoda Enyaq Coupe EV

New EVs, like the recently revised Enyaq coupe, are hoping to benefit from the changing landscape. “Hit the roads with a stunning new look …” so goes the manufacturer website. The Enyaq Coupe is a revision of the existing model, with more sleek and elegant looks now instilled into the model.

The group have worked hard to make the external more sporty with the slanted roof, elegant lines and athleticism. A modern interior, with spaciousness, technology and comfort, is about making this EV equally applicable to the business customer as it is to the family.
