Statistics on sales of cars in the EV segment are published by Autostat – it takes into account not only those models that are officially presented on the Russian market, but also those that are transported to the country privately. Moreover, the latter are extremely popular – an example of this is the Zeekr brand, which does not have a representative office in Russia, but which ranks first in terms of sales of electric cars on the market. It is significantly ahead of even the “domestic” Evolute with production in the Lipetsk region.
On the first line of the rating is Zeekr 001, which sold 463 copies in Russia in November. This model holds a 27.2 percent share of the electric car market. In second place is the Lipetsk-assembled Evolute i-Pro, which ended the month with 226 units sold (market share – 13.3 percent). The top three are completed by the Volkswagen ID.4 (134 units, market share – 7.9 percent), and this is another model supplied through parallel imports.

The top 5 included Zeekr X (129 units) and the domestic Moskvich 3e. Then the places were distributed as follows: in sixth – Volkswagen ID.6 (65 units), in seventh – Zeekr 009 (58 units), in eighth – Honda E:NS1 (45 units), in ninth – Tesla Model Y ( 41 pcs.). In addition to the listed cars, Russians bought another 364 electric cars of other models and brands in November.
Thus, of the nine listed models, only two are officially sold in Russia and are also produced in the country – these are the Evolute i-Pro and Moskvich 3e. Moreover, both of them are actually Chinese cars on which the nameplates have been replaced: the i-Pro is the Dongfeng Aeolus E70, and the Moskvich 3e is the JAC E40X.
In total, at the end of November 2023, 1,702 new electric vehicles were sold, which is 4.5 times more than in the same month of 2022. The agency notes that the statistics take into account new cars up to three years old that were first registered in Russia.
