On the Ukrainian domestic car market, despite constant fluctuations and the influence of a number of external factors, average prices for used cars remained relatively stable. However, if we move away from the averaged values, still some trends of analytics of the Institute of Car Market Research have been discovered. In particular, in the case of dividing the entire massif into segments by fuel (or type of power supply), a noticeable decrease in average prices for cars with hybrid power plants, and an even greater decrease in prices for electric cars, which continues to this day.
