The analytical agency AUTOSTAT has published the results of a study of the Russian market for new cars with an all-electric powertrain.
From January to August inclusive, 238 new electric cars were sold in our country. This is two and a half times more than the result for the same period in 2018, when sales were 86 units.
The demand for electric cars without mileage among Russians has been growing steadily for five months in a row - since April of this year. In August 2019 alone, residents of our country purchased 50 new electric vehicles. For comparison: a year earlier this figure was only 14 pieces.
It should be noted that the market is developing primarily due to Moscow and the Moscow region: 35 new electric cars were sold here in August. Three electric cars were registered in the Irkutsk region, one each in another 12 constituent entities of the Russian Federation.
The most popular electric car among Russians is the Nissan Leaf: in August it accounted for three quarters (38 units) of the total sales of new electric cars.
In addition, last month six Jaguar I-Pace cars, five Tesla electric cars and one Renault Twizy electric car were sold in our country.
