Registrations in Ukraine of new and used electric vehicles in 2021 increased by 18.9% compared to 2020 – up to 8,541 units, while registrations of new cars accounted for 14.2% versus 8.9% a year earlier, the Federation of the Automotive Industry of Ukraine (FAU) reported. “The year ended positively. In December, the number of registrations per month exceeded 900 for the first time, amounting to 928 electric vehicles – twice as many as a year ago, and 8% more than in November,” the report says.
At the same time, the three market leaders remained unchanged – Nissan, Tesla, Chevrolet, which together hold 55% of the market.
According to the above statistics, the leader of registrations Nissan (market share 26.1%) last year showed a slight increase (by 1%, or 26 cars) – up to 2,227 units (for 11 months showed a fall of 1%).
At the same time, Tesla registrations (19.6% of the market) decreased by 16% – to 1,670 units, and Chevrolet (with a 9.4% market share) increased sales by 54% – to 802 units.
“It is interesting that almost all brands have increased sales – except Tesla and Kia. In particular, Audi doubled sales, which allowed it to break into the top ten to the 7th place,” the report says.
In the ranking of brands, after the top three, there are Renault (an increase of 76%, to 551 units), Volkswagen (by 80%, to 550 units), Hyundai (by 43%, to 363 units), Audi (up to 334 units), Mercedes-Benz (up 28%, to 236 units) and Kia (down 13%, to 154 units).
