Electric vehicle boom in Ukraine: which regions buy the most and which models are popular

In September 2024, the car fleet of Ukraine was replenished with 4.3 thousand new electric vehicles (BEVs), which demonstrates the constant growth of demand for ecological vehicles. The largest regional markets for electric cars are concentrated in several regions, including the city of Kyiv, Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Odesa, and Lviv regions.

According to the data of the association "Ukravtoprom", the Lviv region showed the greatest activity in the purchase of electric cars, where 605 electric cars were registered in September. 91% of them are used cars. Such a high indicator indicates the popularity of used electric cars on the regional market due to their more affordable price compared to new models.

The city of Kyiv took second place in terms of the number of new registrations of electric vehicles, where 584 electric vehicles were registered. It is interesting that in the capital there are more new cars than used ones: the share of used electric cars is 61%. This indicates a higher purchasing power of the capital's residents, as well as a greater willingness to invest in new models with advanced technologies.

Kyiv region became the third region in terms of the number of registered electric cars. 333 registrations were recorded here, of which 65% are used cars. Such indicators indicate a significant interest in electric cars among residents of suburban areas, where the infrastructure for electric cars is developing rapidly.

The Dnipropetrovsk region was also noted for active sales of electric cars. In September, 303 electric vehicles were registered here, of which 70% were used. The Odesa region with 241 registered electric cars continues the trend of high demand for used models, the share of which here is 80%.

The popularity of electric cars continues to grow throughout Ukraine, which indicates a change in consumer preferences towards ecological and economical transport solutions. Interest in second-hand electric cars remains high because they offer savings while retaining the benefits of moving away from gasoline and diesel engines.
