Buyer interest ahead of January 2027 registrations
Distributors and dealerships reported taking deposits and recording sales enquiries from prospective buyers. Simon Andreucetti, Managing Director of Nevo, said he would look to January 2027’s new-car registration figures for an indication of the show’s impact.
“People weren’t simply coming along to look at electric cars. They were asking informed questions, comparing vehicles and, in many cases, making decisions about their next purchase.”
