Purpose. The purpose of the study: to investigate and analyze the state and dynamics of the electric car market in Ukraine, to present in graphical form and analyze the TOP-10 most popular electric cars by car brands and models in Ukraine in 2021, the dynamics of monthly registration of electric cars in Ukraine in 2021, the dynamics of the number of registrations of cars with electric motors by year of manufacture in Ukraine in 2021, the dynamics of the number of registrations of cars with electric motors for 2016–2021 in Ukraine, the dynamics of quarterly registration of cars with electric motors by charging in Ukraine in 2017– 2020, the number of registered electric vehicles as of 1.01.2022 by regions of Ukraine, as well as to determine the benefits of using electric vehicles and explore the infrastructure.
Design/methodology/approach. This study used both general scientific methods, empirical and theoretical, in particular, the method of analysis (studying the dynamics of monthly registration of cars with electric motors in Ukraine in 2021, the dynamics of the number of registrations of cars with electric motors by year in Ukraine in 2021, dynamics of the number of registrations of cars with electric motors for 2016–2021 in Ukraine, dynamics of quarterly registration of cars with electric motors by charging method in Ukraine in 2017–2020, the number of registered electric cars as of 1.01.2022 by regions of Ukraine), synthesis (in determining the benefits of using electric vehicles), generalization and explanation, classification, and system. In addition, special research methods were used, in particular, formal-logical and comparative methods of scientific knowledge.
Findings. The article has investigated and analyzed the state and dynamics of the electric car market in Ukraine. The TOP-10 most popular electric cars by makes and models of cars in Ukraine in 2021, the dynamics of monthly registration of cars with electric motors in Ukraine in 2021, the dynamics of registrations of cars with electric motors in Ukraine in 2021, the dynamics of registrations electric motors for 2016–2021 in Ukraine, the dynamics of quarterly registration of cars with electric motors by charging in Ukraine in 2017– 2020, the number of registered electric vehicles as of 1.01.2022 for the regions of Ukraine have been presented in graphical form and analyzed. The benefits of using electric vehicles have been identified and the infrastructure has been studied.
The advantages of electric cars are environmental friendliness, cheaper refueling, easier maintenance, less noise, and less exhaust, but access to charging infrastructure is important. Compared to a car with a petrol or diesel engine, cars with electric batteries are today the most efficient, convenient, and accessible way for drivers to decarbonize transport.
Practical implications. The results of this study are of interest to venture capitalists who seek to invest in the development of the electric vehicle market and strengthen their competitive position in the market, for public authorities – to attract investment to the country and consumers.
Originality/value. Presented and analyzed the state and dynamics of the market of cars with electric motors that can be used by Ukrainian venture structures to attract investment towards their sustainable development.
