The total volume of the electric vehicle segment as of July 2025 amounted to 9.7 thousand, which is 9.8% more than in June of this year and 41.1% more than last yearʼs July 2024 figures.
9716 electric cars in total is a historical record volume for our market, and there are three main drivers here: the increase in fuel prices at gas stations, the general trend of increasing interest in electric cars (which consists of improving their characteristics and reducing market prices), as well as the approaching VAT clearance, which is scheduled for January 1, 2026. The latter factor is probably the most actively encouraging motorists to switch to electric cars now, because in just a few months they will become more expensive by almost a third. According to analysts of the Institute for Automotive Market Research, the growth of volumes in this segment will continue in the future, precisely due to the approaching VAT refund for customs clearance of electric cars, and then (from next year) we should expect some pause, a slump lasting several months, and then — reaching a conditional statistical plateau.
However, there is another opinion, which was well-foundedly expressed in his article for the Kyiv Economic Scientific Journal by Serhiy Matusyak, a postgraduate student at the Department of International Economics of the Ukrainian National University of Economics, editor-in-chief of "Avto-24": " Forecast for Ukraine: integration of European assessments of market sensitivity to incentives and Ukrainian specifics (scale of benefits ~30%+, dominance of used cars, lower GDP) allows us to predict a sharp decline in the BEV market in 2026 (potentially by 50–70%+) with subsequent stagnation or very slow recovery in 2027–2030."

The structure of the segment according to the results of last month is as follows: the basis is imported electric cars with mileage, the share of which is 53%, or 5,154 units.
The second subsegment in terms of volume is domestic resales of BEV group cars, share 31%, quantity — 3,010 units.
New electric cars took 16% in their group, and in quantitative terms it is 1552 units, and that again raises the bar for this subsegment, because this is a new record for the first time registered new electric cars. By the way, in general, in the group of new passenger cars in July, the electric car, BYD Song Plus, took the lead, and the BYD brand itself took second place among all brands selling new cars of all types in our country!
Here is how the indicators for these subsegments have changed compared to previous periods:
- Domestic resales: +9.4% MM, +38.8% YY
- Used imports: +9.7% MM, +38.1% YY
- New imports: +11.2% MM, +58.0% YY
Total electric vehicle fleet
As of the end of July 2025, the BEV fleet in Ukraine (excluding industrial electric vehicles, trolleybuses and rail vehicles) will be 178 thousand units. Most of it is passenger cars — 173.2 thousand. There are 3.7 thousand electric trucks, there are also several electric buses (8 pcs.), and almost 1.1 thousand units of various motor vehicles.
Interestingly, the largest share of our electric car fleet is Tesla — 19.9%, although from the beginning of "electromobilization" until recently, Nissan was the leader, with a share of 19.4%. Volkswagen is third on this list with a share of 12.8%.
