Russia assessed the scale of penetration of electric vehicles into the domestic market. In this respect he is writing magazine “Behind the wheel”, referring to deputy editor-in-chief Nikita Gudkov. An automobile expert was asked whether the trend towards electric vehicles can be considered to have overtaken traditional internal combustion engines (sales of electronic cars in the Russian Federation increased by 31% last year).
“Of course not. Officially, registration of electric vehicles has increased almost fourfold – but the last 1.37% share of registration of new cars with the dominance of the “gray” Zeekr brand does not allow us to talk about a significant invasion of electric vehicles into our market, especially thoughtful and official “thing,” he replied.
Gudkov added that in Russia, long distances between cities and the cold climate in winter significantly weaken many consumer features of electric vehicles. There is no solution to the problem yet, so electric cars cannot yet replace internal combustion engine cars in the domestic market.
