    Electric Car Price War Expected to Make EVs Cheaper

    Wesley DunnBy Wesley Dunn23/01/2024Updated:24/07/2024

    The UK is poised to witness a significant reduction in electric car prices in 2024, according to an analysis by online vehicle marketplace Auto Trader. The anticipated price war is attributed to the entry of Chinese electric car manufacturers into the UK market, with brands like BYD and GWM expected to play a substantial role in transforming the electric vehicle (EV) sector.

    1. Market Transformation:
      • Auto Trader predicts a fierce price war in the electric car market, driven by the market entry of Chinese manufacturers.
      • Chinese electric cars are anticipated to capture a significant share, approximately one-sixth, of the UK’s new electric car sales by 2030.
      • BYD and GWM, successful in the vast Chinese market, are gearing up to compete in the British electric vehicle scene.
    2. Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Mandate:
      • The UK’s new ZEV mandate, effective this month, requires at least 22% of new cars sold by each manufacturer to be zero-emission in 2024.
      • The percentage will gradually increase, reaching 100% by 2035, with financial penalties of £15,000 per polluting vehicle sold above the limits for non-compliant manufacturers.
      • The ZEV mandate, despite delaying the ban on new petrol and diesel cars to 2035, sets the stage for a shift towards electric vehicles.
    3. Chinese Manufacturers’ Entry:
      • Chinese electric car manufacturers are entering the UK market, intensifying competition and compelling established brands to reassess pricing strategies.
      • Brands like BYD and GWM are expected to leverage their success in China and offer attractive prices to UK consumers.
    4. Pricing Pressures:
      • The rise of Chinese electric cars in the UK market is anticipated to add pricing pressure, as these manufacturers have the capability to capture a significant market share.
      • Chinese electric cars such as the BYD Dolphin and GWM ORA 03 are already being offered at attractive prices in the UK compared to their prices in China.

    Market Impact:

    • The price war is expected to make electric cars more affordable for consumers, especially in 2024, creating an opportune moment for those considering transitioning to electric vehicles.
    • Ian Plummer, Commercial Director at Auto Trader, emphasizes that 2024 is a favorable time for drivers to benefit from falling electric vehicle prices.

    The entry of Chinese electric car manufacturers, coupled with the ZEV mandate, is driving a transformative shift in the UK electric car market, creating a competitive landscape that is expected to lead to more affordable and accessible electric vehicles for consumers.
