Electric cars in the Midlands are enduring a steady and pronounced decline in sales.

Electric vehicle sales in Offaly are down almost 30% in 2024 with the figure dropping by 28% in Westmeath and 20% in Laois.
Nationally, the picture is no better with only 17,459 new electric cars registered in 2024 - that's a decrease of almost a quarter from 2023.
While the number of new electric vehicles bought last month was 296 - up nearly 50% from the same time last year.
The national market share for this year stands at just 14.4% with Petrol having the biggest market share of 30.3%.
It also remains the most popular engine type, with electric, hybrid and plug in-hybrid accounting for a combined 45% of the market.
The top five bestselling EV car brands in 2024 were Tesla, Volkswagen, Kia, Hyundai and BYD.
