UK’s JustGoEV Debuts EV, Hybrid Vehicle D2C Sales Site

JustGoEV has rolled out a new online market for new and used electric, plug-in hybrid and hybrid cars, a FleetNews report says.

The site, according to the report, has over 3,000 vehicles listed.

The news comes as President Joe Biden has ordered that half of all new cars sold by 2030 must be electric.

Currently, electric vehicles only make up around 2 percent of the new car market in the U.S. But reports say electric vehicles have been gaining in popularity, with the bulk of the credit going to Tesla’s work. That has seen numerous automakers getting into the space.

While Biden’s executive order isn’t mandatory, it encourages U.S. automakers and government officials to back the adoption of electric vehicles. That includes the target of zero-emission vehicles using fuel cells and batteries, along with plug-in hybrid vehicles with internal combustion engines.

In addition, the Biden administration has also rolled out proposed federal fuel economy and emission standards through 2026, which have been agreed upon by several big automobile companies.

“Our research shows us that the U.K. EV car parc is expected to top nine million vehicles by 2030 and that already 50% of car buyers are considering an EV of some description as their next purchase, so now is the perfect time to introduce the platform,” said JustGo founder Jack Woodgate.

“Almost eight out of 10 car buyers say they do most of their car-buying research online, so if a consumer is looking to make the leap to an EV, we’re offering them a platform that filters out everything that’s irrelevant to them and helps with common ownership hurdles like installing a home charge point,” he said. “Respectively, we are also giving dealers and EV manufacturers a direct means of reaching customers who are in the market for an EV as their next car. We’re aiming to offer a service that not only helps people buy an EV, but also helps them understand ownership.”
