The move to battery electric cars continues in terms of what’s on offer. Across almost all of the brands on the Irish market, including some new ones for 2025, the move to electric car driving is rapid, meaning that petrol or diesel engine cars are becoming less available and will fall further.The new brands to appear include the XPENG range from China, imported by one of Ireland’s longest established car importers, Motor Distributors. First to arrive, in January, will be the XPENG G6, an all-electric mid-sized SUV and this will be the first model to launch on the Irish market from the XPENG range.
