A boom in sales of two types of cars was predicted in Russia

By the end of 2026, the total sales volumes of electric cars and plug-in hybrids in Russia will double compared to the figure for 2025. This forecast was given in the Telegram channel by the head of the analytical agency Autostat, Sergei Tselikov.

In 12 months, the sales of these types of machines, according to the expectations of market participants, will exceed 100 thousand units. “Compared to last year, the EV segment will double,” Tselikov summed up.

The growth dynamics of sales of electric cars and hybrids in the domestic market will continue even if the fuel situation normalizes. Amid concerns about gasoline availability, some buyers have already switched from traditional internal combustion engine vehicles to electric or hybrid vehicles.

This trend is typical not only for the Russian, but also for the global car market. In Russia, Tselikov expects, manufacturers will continue to expand their range of electric cars, taking into account the global trend. The infrastructure (charging stations) will be modernized in the future, charging will require less and less time, which will also spur demand, stated the head of the industry agency.
