The third place in 2023 should go to Electric Vehicles Manufacturing Rus, which will soon launch production of EVM Pro light electric trucks based on UAZ Profi in the Moscow Technopolis. This year it is planned to produce 783 such cars, but further plans are limited to 835 cars per year. Avtotor Kaliningrad plant, which is preparing an electric car of its own design, plans to produce a “pilot” lot of 200 electric cars in 2023. Industrial production should begin in the first quarter of next year, and the plan for 2024 is 1100 units, for 2025 - 2200 units.

Finally, GAZ Group plans to produce 331 units of electric vehicles in 2023, 537 units in 2024, and 838 units in 2025.
