Sales of new electric vehicles grew 5 times in April

According to the results of April 2023, sales of new electric vehicles in our country was 861 units, which is a record figure. Such data* were announced during the last online broadcast "AUTOSTAT Operativka".

Experts of "AUTOSTAT" agency noted that this year sales of electric cars are growing from month to month. At the same time, if we compare the result of April with what it was a year ago (in April 2022 there were 180 units), then it turns out to be almost 5 times more. In addition to the low base effect, the emergence of new players in this market segment, such as Evolute, Skywell, Volyah, and Moskvich, is also affecting.

Thus, domestic Evolute entered the top three among brands in April - 187 such electric vehicles were sold per a month. It is slightly inferior to the German Volkswagen (198 units), which eventually became the leader. And the TOP-3 was closed by American Tesla (123 units). Thus, these three brands account for almost 60% of all electric cars sold in April. However, it is worth noting that Evolute officially sells its models, while Volkswagen and Tesla do not.

In the model rating, the first five positions are also occupied by representatives of these brands, namely: Volkswagen ID.4 (119 units), Evolute i-PRO (95 units), Evolute i-JOY (92 units), Tesla Model Y (75 units) and Volkswagen ID.6 (70 units).

As for four months of 2023, 2,472 new electric vehicles were sold in Russia during this period, which is 2.5 times higher than in January-April last year. And the palm is shared between Evolute and Volkswagen - sales volume of each of these brands was 552 units.
