Electric vehicles accounted for 12% of new vehicles in the region.
There were nearly 4,000 new cars sold in the midlands in 2022.
The 3,971 new registrations last year is a very marginal increase on the prior year, when 3,966 new vehicles were sold.
Electric vehicles accounted for over 12% of the total cars sold in the region, twice as much as 2021's figures.
