Mercedes-Benz achieved a modest 3.1% growth to 4,551 units during the same period. The broader UK electric vehicle market demonstrated remarkable resilience during the summer months, with battery electric vehicle sales rising by 14.9% in August to achieve a record 26.5% market share for the year. This growth acceleration continued into September, when electric vehicle registrations reached an unprecedented 72,779 units, marking a 29.1% year-on-year increase and representing 23.3% of all new car sales. Matt Galvin, Polestar UK Managing Director, attributed the company's success to strategic retail network expansion, noting that Polestar now operates 14 retail "Spaces" across the country. The introduction of the Polestar 3 and Polestar 4 models has particularly resonated with British consumers seeking "striking design and innovative technology," according to Galvin.
