12 January , 2026  

Last year, Ukraine’s vehicle fleet was replenished with more than 110,200 zero-emission vehicles (passenger and commercial), which is twice as many as in 2024, according to Ukravtoprom’s Telegram channel.

Of this number, passenger car registrations increased 2.1 times to 107,470 units, and commercial vehicle registrations also increased more than 2.1 times to 2,773 units. Five electric buses were also registered (1.5 times more).

At the same time, the share of new vehicles in BEV registrations increased slightly and amounted to 21% compared to 20% in 2024.

The top five most popular new electric vehicles on the market in 2025 were led by the Volkswagen ID.Unyx with 3,162 units; followed by the BYD Song Plus EV – 2,948 units, BYD Leopard 3 – 1,623 units, ZEEKR 7X – 1,558 units, and BYD Sea Lion 07 – 1,337 units.

Among imported used electric vehicles, the most popular were the TESLA Model Y – 10,683 units; TESLA Model 3 – 9,348 units; NISSAN Leaf – 7,559 units; KIA Niro – 5,154 units; and HYUNDAI Kona Electric – 4,145 units.

According to the association, in December 2025, more than 32,800 electric vehicles (new and used) were added to the Ukrainian car fleet, which is 8.6 times more than a year earlier, including 32,134 passenger cars (8.8 times more) and 699 commercial vehicles (4.6 times more).

As reported, the surge in demand for electric vehicles in the last months of 2025 was due to information about the cancellation of VAT exemptions on customs clearance from 1 January 2026.

In particular, the share of electric vehicles in the new passenger car market grew from 14.5% to 28.3% over the year.
