There were a total of just 3,600 electric vehicles (EVs) in the
entirety of Russia as of 1 January 2019, according to a the
analytic agency Autostat, whose data was published in a Skrin
newswire report.
Significance: The data indicate that EVs
accounted for less than 0.01% of the overall Russian market by the
end of 2018. The biggest region in terms of EV registration is the
Primorsky Krai region, which encompasses the Eastern port city of
Vladivostok. This would imply that many of the 735 vehicles in
question are unofficial imports from Japan. The next most populous
area was the city of Moscow with 405 units. There is very little
demand for EVs in Russia as there are no government support
programmes for their purchase, while infrastructure is also
currently highly patchy.
