Russian demand for Chinese EVs rises as fuel supplies are disrupted
Russian demand for electric vehicles has increased as attacks linked to the war in Ukraine disrupt supplies of refined oil products. The report says Chinese automakers are meeting much of that demand.
Russian demand for EVs has risen amid major disruptions to the supply of refined oil products, according to Charged EVs. The publication says the disruptions are linked to the country’s war on Ukraine.
It reports that Chinese automakers are supplying most of the vehicles meeting this demand. No specific sales figures or model names were provided in the source summary.
The development suggests fuel scarcity is helping push electric transport adoption in Russia, even as the broader situation remains tied to the war.
