The total volume of the electric vehicle segment (including cars, trucks and buses) as of August 2025 amounted to a record 11.5 thousand, which is 12.5% more than in July of this year and 22.5% more than last yearʼs figures for August 2024.
11,545 electric cars in total is a historical record for volumes 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 increase in price by almost a third. According to analysts at the Auto Market Research Institute, the growth in volumes in this segment will continue, precisely because of 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, after which a certain stabilization will occur, which will be replaced by a trend towards increasing volumes.
At this rate, next month the total addition of BEVs to the fleet will exceed last yearʼs volume, despite the fact that this will happen in less than 9 months.

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 52.1%, or 6,018 units.
The second subsegment in terms of volume is domestic resales of BEV group vehicles, share 30.8%, quantity — 3,561 units.
New electric cars took up 17% of their group, and in quantitative terms, this is 1,966 units, which once again raises the bar for this subsegment, because this is a new record for first-time registered new electric cars.
Here is how the indicators for these subsegments have changed compared to previous periods:
- Domestic resales: +12.5% MM, +31.1% YY
- Used imports: +10.0% MM, +9.5% YY
- New imports: +21.2% MM, +62.6% YY
