Compared to the same period in 2022, the demand for electric vehicles increased by 2.8 times, reports Ukravtoprom on Telegram.

It is noted that the number of electric cars reached 4,417, of which 851 were new, and 3,566 were used.

It is noted that the TOP-5 new electric cars on the market in October included:

  • HONDA E – 63 units;

Since the beginning of 2023, almost 28.7 thousand electric vehicles have been registered in Ukraine for the first time, which is 2.7 times more than in the same period last year. In addition, the share of new cars increased from 16% to 20%.

Earlier, EcoPolitic wrote, that in Ukraine, from January to June 2023, 12.6 thousand electric vehicles (BEVs) were added to the carbon-neutral transport fleet, which is three times more than in 2022.

As EcoPolitic previously reported, in 2022, sales of electric vehicles worldwide increased and accounted for about 10% of the total market, thanks to significant growth in China and Europe.
