Demand for electric vehicles continues to grow in Ukraine. Thus, in August 2024, the Ukrainian vehicle fleet was replenished with 6,445 battery-electric vehicles (BEVs). This is 68% more than in August 2023.

It is noted that Ukrainians most often buy used electric vehicles. Only 18% of all registered BEVs were new cars. Interestingly, the share was the same last year.

The lion’s share – 6302 units, or 97.8% – is accounted for by passenger electric vehicles. Among them, 1159 units (18.4%) were new, and the remaining 5143 units (81.6%) were used. Among the 143 registered commercial electric vehicles, only 5 units (3.5%) were new.

The most popular new electric vehicles among Ukrainians in August were the following models:

  • BYD Song Plus – 174 units;
  • Honda M-NV – 169 units;
  • Volkswagen ID.4 – 147 units;
  • Zeekr 001 – 107 units;
  • Nissan Ariya – 83 units.

The following electric vehicles prevailed among the used ones registered for the first time in Ukraine:

  • Nissan Leaf – 658 units;
  • Tesla Model Y – 588 units;
  • Tesla Model 3 – 561 units;
  • Hyundai Kona – 308 units;
  • Volkswagen e-Golf – 289 units.

Since the beginning of the year, more than 35.6 thousand electric vehicles have been registered for the first time in Ukraine. Of this total, 20% were new cars, and 80% were used.
