More drivers are choosing electric cars

SOGO makes it easy for customers to drive an electric car or 'EV' for short. Our monthly, ultra-flexible leasing means that drivers can try a new model and see if it fits their lifestyle. We have also seen our business leasing customers increasingly using this option when increasing the number of EVs on fleet.

The transition to EVs continues to grow. In August 2021, sales of electric, plug-in hybrid, and hybrid vehicles were four times higher than sales of diesel models, according to the latest figures from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).

Plug-in and hybrid models secured a market share of over 30 per cent during August, and demand for new battery-electric (BEV) jumped up 32.2 per cent. In addition, demand for plug-in hybrid (PHEV) vehicles increased by an impressive 72.1 per cent year-on-year.
