Key take-aways
-
EV momentum: Electric vehicles captured nearly half of the “young-used” lane, reflecting ongoing demand despite wartime logistics.
-
Tesla’s pull: Model Y and Model 3 alone made up 14 % of all sub-five-year imports.
-
Diversified sourcing: Non-EV favourites (Rogue, CX-5, Tiguan) show Ukrainian buyers still value conventional powertrains alongside electrification.
-
Investment signal: Rising share of late-model EV imports underlines the need for charging and service infrastructure—an opening for foreign capital and partnerships in after-sales, battery refurb and grid-integration projects.
