Sales of hybrids and electric cars in Russia set a record in July

In July, Russia set a record for sales of vehicles that can travel on electricity — pure electric vehicles (BEV) and hybrids (PHEV and EREV). This was announced on August 4 by Sergey Tselikov, director of the Autostat analytical agency, in his Telegram channel.

In total, 1,540 electric cars and 9,224 plug-in hybrids were registered in the Russian Federation in the middle of summer. In total, the share of this segment has almost reached 9% of the market.

Also, another 3.2% of sales accounted for conventional self-charging (HEV) and mild (MHEV) hybrids that do not have the ability to connect to a power source.

In total, the share of electrified cars in the Russian market exceeded 12% of the market, which is also an absolute record in the entire history of observations, said Tselikov.
