Battery-electric share of UK first car registrations by make; %, 2025, 5,000-car minimum.
UK car makes are ranked by the battery-electric share of their first registrations in 2025. Each percentage divides a make’s battery-electric registrations by all of that make’s first car registrations, with a minimum threshold of 5,000 cars. Tesla and Polestar both recorded 100.0% battery-electric shares, while BYD ranked next at 58.3%. Renault placed ninth at 28.6%, showing that the ranking measures mix rather than absolute registration volume.

| 1 | Tesla | 100.0% | 2025 |
| 2 | Polestar | 100.0% | 2025 |

Evidence: Supports 2025 car first registrations by make and fuel for the battery-electric share ranking.
The threshold improves comparability but means the ranking does not include every make in the source. A high share does not necessarily imply a high absolute number of registrations.
The ranking aggregates 2025 quarterly car first registrations by make and fuel, filters to makes with at least 5,000 registrations, and divides each make's battery-electric count by its own total.
Every row uses the same official vehicle file, calendar year, car filter and make-level denominator rule.
