Sales of electric and hybrid vehicles in Russia are on track to double by the end of 2026, according to industry statistics reported by TASS.
The data shows that around 1,400 fully electric vehicles and 58,700 plug-in hybrid vehicles were registered in Russia during the first nine months of the year.
The figures point to plug-in hybrids making up the large majority of registrations in this category, while fully electric vehicle registrations remain comparatively small in absolute terms.
The growth in electrified vehicle registrations comes as automakers and the Russian market adjust to a changing landscape for vehicle supply, following shifts in the availability of foreign brands in recent years.
Further details on the specific models driving the growth, or pricing and infrastructure factors behind the increase, were not included in the reported statistics.
