Electric cars in Russia: how many are there and where are they located

While sales of the world's automakers are falling along with oil prices, and the economy is poor, perhaps it's finest hour electric cars, and they put on the blades of the engine. Hard times favor to strategic maneuvers, and even at this stage, the attitude towards electric vehicles , I propose to deal, where in Russia «dwells» more electric what they mark, and what constitutes a market of environmentally-friendly vehicles now. On this and other issues, read on.

Electric vehicles in Russia

On the question of which electric vehicle is better is best answered by statistics. As new cars buyer often take the Tesla Model 3, Tesla Model X, Nissan Leaf, Jaguar I—Pace and Tesla Model S. Look at the chart of sales:

the Percentage of sales of new vehicles

Does the choice of car price, the question is moot. Tesla Model 3 is worth 5.7 million rubles, Model X — 11.2 million rubles, the Nissan Leaf — 4,3 million rubles, Jaguar I-Pace 7.7 million. and Tesla Model S — 10,8 mln. Judging by the prices, buyers start most of razreklamiruete brand. Tesla as a pioneer takes the top 2 first places and rounded out the top five. Why got here the Nissan Leaf and the Jaguar I-Pace? I think it's in budget savings and love for the brand. Instead of buying a Tesla Liaf, you will save 1.4 to 5.9 million rubles, which, in my opinion, essential. And Jaguar… it is purely a matter of taste. They either like and buy from generation to generation, or hate it. Some middle ground among fans of Jaguars no.

Sets an absolute record in sales.

Tesla Model 3 — five-seater sedan produced by Tesla. Developed on a new platform that is different from that used in the Tesla Model S and Tesla Model X. 20 % smaller Model S.

I Think the second in the top of the Model X because of the body. There are fans of sedans, and there are — crossovers. It's bigger, roomier, procodile. In General, it is ideal for those who love urban SUV, but heats for ecology.

Nissan Leaf

Nissan Leaf

Leaf — a Japanese competitor of Tesla and, interestingly, in this top is the oldest car. The release of this Nissan started in 2010, in that time, as the first Tesla this top entered the market only in 2012.

Jaguar I-Pace

Comparing superficially, you begin to understand why some people prefer Tesla Jaguar. Agree, the British «cat» looks more elaborate design.

Tesla Model S

Completing the top, I decided to show you the Model S. Tesla Is the earliest of this top. She's 20% more than Model 3 and 5 million more expensive.

In the secondary market, things are different. Here the absolute leader is the Nissan Leaf, the second place in Model S, and in third place here beginner — the BMW i3.

Dynamics of sales of electric vehicles in the secondary market

Dynamics «secondary» shows that all want the best, but cheaper, which is extremely logical. As soon as the excitement subsides on new cars, prices fall, and many can afford a long-awaited car. For a used Nissan want 676 thousand rubles for the Model S — 3.7 million rubles, but appeared in the top of the BMW is 1.8 million.

BMW i3

BMW i3

On the question of why the BMW in the first top was not involved, is quite simple. The new i3 is not yet available, so the sale can only be found used.

Aggregate new and used electric cars, there are about 6300. «Population» to put it mildly, is small, but let's see where they occur most frequently.

Strangely enough, but the leader is not Moscow. Most of cars are there in Primorsky region — fresh stats 2020 has there are almost 1,000 electric vehicles. On the second place Moscow and MO — 835 cars. On the third Irkutsk oblast with 657 cars.

areas of concentration «strength» electric vehicles

The fact that in the first place Primorsky Krai, did not surprise me at all. East «breathe», nothing surprising. Moscow and MO in second place too logical, after all, the capital of Russia but Irkutsk oblast and Krasnodar Krai for me — mysteries. I will assume that in Irkutsk the cars come from East, but who out there likes so much — is unknown. And in the Krasnodar region is the city of Sochi. Taking into account real estate prices, electric vehicles there is the place.

For Russia, while electric cars were a rarity, unfortunately.
