The market of new electric vehicles grew by 30% in September

In September 2022, Russians purchased 209 new electric vehicles, which is 29.8% higher than a year ago. This is reported by the experts of the agency "AUTOSTAT" with reference to the data of JSC "PPK"*.

In the brand ranking of the segment of electric vehicles, German Volkswagen came out on top in September with 69 units. This is actually a third of the market where the newcomer “made” the weather (a year ago, in 2021, there were no electric vehicles of this brand on the market). However, now it is already represented by a whole line of several models. The second position is occupied by the American Tesla (44 units), the third - by Audi (20 units).

The top five is finished by German Mercedes-Benz and Chinese Hongqi (12 and 11 units, respectively). We note another brand - BMW with a result of 10 sold units. The rest 13 brands showed more modest results, but it is important to note that Russians in the electric train segment in 2022 have growing opportunities for a choice. For example, in September, the production of domestic Evolute electric cars started in Russia, several Chinese CIIMO M-NVs (7 units) were purchased, and a new brand for our country, the Chinese Skywell, was introduced.

In the model ranking of the first month of autumn, Volkswagen ID.4 leads the market of new electric cars with 51 units, followed by Tesla Model 3 (22 units) and Tesla Model Y (16 units). Behind them there is the newcomer Volkswagen ID.6 (14 units). Also in September, 11 units of Audi e-tron Sportback, Hongqi E-HS9 and Mersedes-Benz EQS were purchased. The rest models were purchased in quantities of less than 10 units.

According to the results of nine months of 2022, the market of new electric vehicles in our country also shows a similar growth: during this period, its volume was 1,804 vehicles, which is 30.4% higher than in January-September of 2021.
