Tesla’s car registrations in the United Kingdom fell 9 percent year over year in December, industry data showed on Jan. 6, underscoring the intense competition from Chinese rivals faced by the U.S. electric vehicle maker in its largest European market.
Overall new-car registrations in the UK fell sharply during the month, even as electric vehicles (EVs) captured a record share of the market, according to figures published by New AutoMotive.
