Electric car share of new registrations falls to 14% amid slowdown in demand 

Of the almost 50,000 cars sold between January and March, petrol accounted for 30.7%, while diesel registrations increased to 11,512, from 10,070 a year prior

Despite the electric vehicle slowdown, BMW has seen sales this category outperforming rivals Tesla and Volkswagen. 

The slowdown in electric car sales continues as they accounted for just 14% of new registrations during the first three months of the year, while the proportion of new diesel cars increased, data from the Central Statistics Office (CSO) shows.
