Analysis: Are we at a tipping point for electric vehicle sales? Since 2011, the Irish government has been promoting electric vehicles as a key tool to decarbonise the fleet of roughly 2.3 million cars. While uptake was slow for many years, recent growth suggests a tipping point which could indicate a transition from early adopters to mainstream adopters .
The total market share of EVs reached about 19% of new vehicle sales in 2023, and they currently represent 5% of the 2.3 million private cars. The increase in sales and imports is also leading to the development of a growing market for used EVs which will make them more accessible to all road users in the years ahead. This tipping point suggests a major change in the purchasing habits of Irish car buyers as it become a more mainstream idea to go electric.
