Why World EV Day matters

World EV Day, celebrated annually on the 9th of September since 2020, is a global platform to promote and celebrate the benefits of electric vehicles. It's an initiative aimed at raising awareness about the role of EVs in reducing carbon emissions and improving air quality, ultimately contributing to a sustainable future.

EV insights and industry stats

On this occasion, let's take a moment to reflect on the EV revolution. According to the recent AutoTrader Industry Report, the number of electric vehicles on the road is steadily increasing, and their popularity is rising. These zero-tailpipe-emissions vehicles can reduce your carbon footprint if charged sustainably and be lighter on your wallet regarding running costs, too!

In a rapidly changing automotive landscape, electric vehicles are leading the charge towards a cleaner and greener future. AutoTrader and GridCars are proud to be part of this movement, offering incentives that make EV ownership even more rewarding.
