The total volume of the passenger electric vehicle segment as of September 2025 amounted to a record 12.1 thousand, which is 5.9% more than in August of this year and 89.2% more than last yearʼs September 2024 figures.
12,113 electric vehicles in total is once again 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 vehicles (which consists of improving their characteristics and reducing market prices), as well as the approaching VAT clearance, which is fixed in the legislation for January 1, 2026.
The latter factor is probably the most actively encouraging motorists to switch to electric cars, because in just a few months they will increase in price by almost a third. According to analysts of the Institute for Automotive Market Research, the growth of volumes in this segment will continue until the end of the year, precisely because of the approaching VAT refund on customs clearance of electric cars, after which (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.
In a previous review of the electric car segment for August, IDA experts predicted that at this pace in September, the total replenishment of the BEV fleet would exceed last yearʼs volumes, despite the fact that this would happen in less than 9 months. And this forecast, like most of the previous ones, came true: from the beginning of 2025 to September (inclusive), 55.4 thousand electric cars arrived. Last year, for all 12 months — 52.1 thousand.
And if so, it is worth making a new forecast: how many electric cars will arrive this year in total? As a result of our calculations and expert assessment, we received the following numbers: about 20 thousand used cars and about 7 thousand new ones. That is, we expect +27 thousand electric cars in total, which, with those that have already arrived this year, should reach 82 thousand first registrations in total. We will check in January 2026.

The structure of the segment according to the results of last month is as follows: the basis is imported electric vehicles with mileage, the share of which is 53.4%, or 6,473 units.
The second subsegment in terms of volume is domestic resales of BEV group vehicles, share 29.3%, quantity — 3,552 units.
New electric cars took up 17.2% of their group, in quantitative terms it is 2,088 units, and that once again raises the bar for this subsegment, because this is a new record for first-time registered new electric cars — there have never been more than two thousand registrations here!
Here is how the indicators for these subsegments have changed compared to previous periods:
- Domestic resales: −0.4% MM, +44.4% YY
- Used imports: +9.3% MM, +107.7% YY
- New imports: +7.2% MM, +153.1% YY
Total electric vehicle fleet
As of the end of September 2025, in Ukraine (excluding industrial electric cars, trolleybuses, rail cars and the “moto” group), the BEV group transport fleet will be 193.5 thousand units. Most of it is passenger cars — 193.5 thousand. Electric trucks — 3.9 thousand, there are also several electric buses (8 pcs.).
Interestingly, the largest share of our electric car fleet is Tesla — 20%, although from the beginning of "electromobilization" until recently, Nissan was the leader, with a share of 18.5%. Volkswagen is third on this list with a share of 12.5%.
The average age in this segment of the park is 5.8 years, making it the youngest among all other segments.
We also recall that the Institute for Automotive Market Research recently provided detailed information about the Ukrainian fleet and market of Tesla Inc. electric vehicles, and IDA specialists initiated the expansion of the dictionary meaning of the word "electric car" by contacting the Institute of the Ukrainian Language.
