Import of cars from the United States to Ukraine remains at a stable level, and it is indicative that the largest percentage falls on electric cars — 42.2% of all imported vehicles. Petrol versions came close behind with 42.1%. Diesel engines are significantly behind — only 4% of the total volume. Hybrid powertrains took 7.9%, and cars with LPG equipment maintain their usual share at 3.8%.

Top five among used cars from the USA in April 2025

  • Tesla Model Y – 534 cars

  • Tesla Model 3 – 471

  • Ford Escape – 271

  • Nissan Rogue – 205

  • Jeep Cherokee – 201

Teslas, as before, confidently lead — it seems that electric traction has finally established itself as the main direction. Moreover, the average age of a used car from America that entered Ukraine last month was only 5.7 years.

However, in the secondary market, electric cars also have serious drawbacks. The most noticeable among them is rapid depreciation. A few years ago, new Teslas in Ukraine cost 60, 80, or even over 100 thousand dollars. Today, these same cars are sold with great difficulty, and their price often does not even reach a third of the original. So before investing in an electric car, especially a new one, it is worth carefully weighing all the arguments. Saving on fuel is, of course, a plus, but does it justify such a significant drop in value?
