Cars, Freight & Transport

Research by Donedeal, Ireland’s largest motor & classifieds marketplace has found that demand for second-hand premium EVs (defined as cars between one and four years old costing more than  €30,000) had risen by 270% the the 12 months to January 2023. It is that the figures are so high because of the delays in having new models delivered.

Of the 19,366 new cars sold in Norway during March, 16,811 of them were electric vehicles. This is 86.8% of the total, and once hybrids are removed from the equation, pure diesel and petrol cars together only accounted for 2.7% of new registrations.
