Short term turbulence is most likely to blame for April's softening new car sales, but we're seeing new car visits on Auto Trader up 8% on 2024 and we're confident this will convert to sales in the coming months. Whilst any growth in electric sales is welcome, we are still lagging behind the ZEV mandate target this year. New and more affordable models are turning heads and should help get us closer to the target, with the new EVs that launched last year accounting for a quarter of all new electric advert views.
