New Car Registrations Rise in Kildare, But EV Sales Falter

From January to June 2024, Kildare registered 3,440 new cars, up from 3,260 in the same period in 2023.

The latest data on new car registrations for the first half of 2024 reveals a mixed performance for Kildare.

While the county has experienced an overall increase in new car registrations, there has been a decline in electric vehicle (EV) sales.

From January to June 2024, Kildare registered 3,440 new cars, up from 3,260 in the same period in 2023.

This represents a growth of 5.52%, bringing Kildare's share of the national market to 4.36%, slightly higher than the 4.2% share it held last year.

Kildare saw a drop in EV sales, with only 612 electric cars registered in the first half of 2024 compared to 807 in the same period of 2023.
