Sales of new electric vehicles in Russia in January-October 2026 reached 15.58 thousand vehicles. In ten months, 25% more were sold than in the entire year of 2025. The strongest month was October: customers purchased 4,030 electric cars, which were a monthly sales record in the segment.
The share of electric vehicles in the new passenger vehicle market reached 3%. However, growth relative to last year does not mean that the previous historical maximum has already been broken. In 2024, 17.81 thousand electric cars were sold in Russia, and this level remains the main index for the entire Russian market this year.
To exceed the result of 2024, about 2.23 thousand additional cars should be sold in the months of November and December. This is significantly less than the October volume of 4,030 vehicles. Thus, the sharp acceleration in sales in the fall not only brought the market above the total for 2025, but also opened an opportunity to set a new annual record. The final result will be determined according to the sales of the remaining two months.
