Ukrainians bought 3,200 new and used electric cars in March, which was a new record.
This was told by the author and founder of the Autogeek electric vehicle blog on the air of the Public Radio.
He said that in the spring of 2022, the demand for electric cars increased due to fuel shortages. During the year, the number of electric cars sold reached an average of 1,500 cars per month.
"In 2023, the numbers will be even more impressive, if in January-February about 2,000 electric cars were sold per month, then March set a record for the entire history of sales in Ukraine, 3,200 new and used electric cars were purchased," Mudjiri said.
In his opinion, this number of sold cars shows that Ukrainians have understood the benefits and advantages of switching to electric cars.
According to him, for Ukrainians economy comes first, because owning an electric car is cheaper than a regular car.
Earlier, EcoPolitic wrote, that in February 2023, Ukrainians bought 413 new cars with battery power sources, which is 40% more than in January.
As EcoPolitic previously reported, Ukraine plans to create a network of 120 charging stations, namely 40 of high capacity (160+ kW) and 80 of medium capacity (60+ kW), in regional centers and on the country's main highways.
