## Resource

Electric cars are exploding in popularity, with registrations doubling year-over-year in May and EVs now making up 24% of all new car sales—up from 16% last year. The shift is accelerating across both new and used markets, as consumers ditch petrol and diesel for cleaner alternatives, while hybrids also surge 55% in new registrations. The electric revolution isn’t a trend—it’s here to stay. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
