New Automotive

What New Automotive does

New AutoMotive is a UK Community Interest Company (CIC) founded in 2020, headquartered in London, that uses data to accelerate the transition from internal-combustion vehicles to electric vehicles. The organization operates three flagship data products: the Electric Car Count (ECC), a monthly UK EV market bulletin sourced directly from DVSA MOT and DVLA APIs for near-real-time vehicle registration intelligence; the Global EV Tracker, covering battery electric vehicle sales across 39+ markets representing more than 80% of global car sales; and the European Battery Supply Chain Tracker, an interactive map of gigafactories, mining, refining and recycling projects across Europe. It publishes additional research reports and policy briefings on ZEV mandates, vehicle taxation, charging infrastructure, and the 'State of the Switch' annual review, and has contributed substantive consultation responses to UK government ZEV policy in 2025.

The platform architecture combines DVSA MOT history and DVLA Vehicle Enquiry Service API feeds with curated national-level sales data to deliver fuel-type classification that the firm argues is more timely and granular than industry-aligned sources such as SMMT, and that excludes plug-in hybrids on the grounds that their tailpipe emissions are inconsistent with decarbonization targets. All intellectual property is owned by the CIC rather than shareholders.
