Consumer demand for electric and hybrid models remained in strong in November, according to new data from Motors.
Motors latest top 10 fastest selling cars shows that three spots were held by electric models and two more by hybrids.
The Toyota Prius Plus was the fastest selling car for the second consecutive month, with an average of 13.8 days on forecourts before being sold.
This was also considerably faster than second on the list, the Tesla Model 3, selling in an average of 19.3 days.
Lucy Tugby, marketing director for Motors, put this down to improved supply of alternatively-fuelled vehicles.
She said: ‘Half of the top 10 fastest selling used cars in November were either hybrid or electric models, as gradually improving supply saw alternative fuelled vehicles fly off dealer forecourts.
‘Toyota’s discontinued Prius Plus was the fastest selling used car for the second month in a row, averaging just 13.8 days to sell, a significant improvement on October’s 18.4 days.
‘This was followed by the Tesla Model 3, with car buyers benefitting from a succession of price reductions over recent months.’
