Verdict

Keyless data tables on GOV.UK. A vehicle-fleet and EV-adoption signal; monthly figures are provisional estimates and are revised by the quarterly statistics. Licensed OGL-UK-3.0: the page says "All content is available under the Open Government Licence v3.0, except where otherwise stated". Rate limits: Not stated. Signal Lab links only.
