Boost Your Workshop Electric & Hybrid Vehicles Why your workshop should be EV ready An aging, but ever changing vehicle car parc.
Statistics from the SMMT show that used car market is starting to grow again after several years in decline. Great news for independent workshops, as this growth will ultimately see more vehicles into your workshops. However, are you ready for the change in vehicle type is the question? With more EV and Hybrid vehicles changing hands in the used car market, is your workshop equipped to take advantage of this increasing trend?
BEV sales in the aftermarket continue to increase, and from a small base they are up over 400% (380 vehicles in Q1) This trend is set increase throughout 2023 and beyond.
ROI used car market grows 7.2% in Q1 2023 after three successive quarters of decline.
Best start to a year since 2020, but market remains below pre-pandemic levels.
The make up of the car parc continues to change, in 2019, 90% of all new cars sold were either petrol or diesel. In 2022, this was less than half (47%). Which means, cars with an EV element have increased 43 percentage points since 2019

Hybrid and electric vehicle sales are rising fast Hybrid Level 2/3 and 4 Boost Your Workshop Don’t get left behind when it comes to servicing and repairing hybrid and electric vehicles (EV). With government plans to cut emissions by stopping the sale of new petrol and diesel cars by 2035 and multiple car manufacturers such as Volvo and Ford committing to a 100% electric range by 2035, the change is inevitable. There is no doubt that hybrid and EV’s will become the vehicle of choice over the coming years and beyond.
82% of technicians in the UK and Ireland are not trained to work on Hybrid and EV’s.
Britain’s switch to EV’s continues to gather pace, with a record one in five new car registrations now plug-ins*.
