Description

Over 2,500 new vehicles have been sold in Clare this year.

The latest report from the Society of the Irish Motor Industry shows that 385 of these were electric, marking a 66% in the last year.

While Petrol/Electric hybrids are the most popular selling cars in this county this year, accounting for over a quarter of the market share.

SIMI Director General Brian Cooke says the electric market is enjoying a purple patch.
