Electric vehicles have captured 5.2% of sales of new cars, up 1.2% from last year, and could reach more than 8% by the end of the year.
Deliveries of new electric vehicles in Israel have jumped sharply this year. Between January and May 2022 6,900 electric cars were delivered in Israel representing 5.2% of all car sales, compared with just 1.2% over the same period last year, according to figures received by “Globes.” The sharp rise in electric vehicle deliveries comes despite the 12% fall in car deliveries to about 134,000 in the first five months of 2022, mainly due to supply chain disruptions.
