## Resource

Electric car searches on DoneDeal in Ireland skyrocketed 94% last month, while diesel searches plunged 21%—marking the steepest year-over-year drop since records began. The shift accelerated dramatically in March, with diesel hitting its lowest ever share by May. Petrol searches held steady, and hybrid searches grew more specific, signaling a clear move away from diesel toward EVs and hybrids. The surge aligns with falling EV prices, expanding charging networks, and growing personal experience with electric vehicles. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
