Another parameter is availability, as pointed out by the president of the importers' association, Alexis Anninos, noting that what we see in the first quarter of 2023 does not accurately reflect the market's actual situation. The data suggests that brands positioned in the market as luxury and targeting higher-income consumers gain larger market shares in the field of electrification. In total, from 2022 until the end of April, 56 Tesla electric vehicles have been registered, but these are imported as used vehicles since there is no official representative in Cyprus. Additionally, 9 Tesla vehicles have been registered for the period January-April. He expressed the view that while incentives have increased interest in electric cars, substantial market shares will take a decade to materialize, as he mentioned.Ĭyprus' national target for 2030 is for 25% of new vehicle registrations to be electric, and by 2035, this percentage is expected to increase to 100%.įrom the total registrations of electric private salon vehicles for the first quarter of the year (232), it appears that most registrations are for BMW models (39), followed by 23 Porsche, 22 Mercedes, 20 Audi, 20 Hyundai, 18 Volkswagen, 13 Toyota, 12 Skoda, 11 MG and 11 Nissan models, and 8 Volvo, KIA, and Ford each. KAPODISTRIAS & SONS LTD mentioned that it is also a matter of whether the charging system can withstand simultaneous charging of electric vehicles if the market share of this category increases to 10%. Speaking to 'K' magazine, Konstantinos Kapodistrias, CEO and General Manager of CHR. Additionally, the range of electric vehicles is an important factor for potential buyers.

It's not easy for a driver who used to refuel their car with conventional fuel in a few minutes to choose a car that takes 2-3 hours to charge. The charging time is also a concern for potential buyers. It should be noted that the EU document mentioned earlier also highlights that the number of charging points per vehicle in Cyprus is the lowest in the EU. Currently, there are a total of 31 dual public charging stations operating in Cyprus, along with some additional ones from private initiatives. Another parameter is the limited charging infrastructure for such vehicles. The purchasing cost is a significant factor that seems to hinder the acquisition of an electric vehicle, as well as the battery replacement cost, with an average price of around 10,000 euros. This means that we need to accelerate both incentives and infrastructure development. However, within seven years, by 2030, 25% of new vehicle registrations should be electric, according to Cyprus' national target, and by 2035, this percentage should increase to 100%. When we consider the data for overall registrations, both for used and new sedan cars, the share of electric vehicles diminishes. It should be clarified that this percentage pertains to new sedan vehicle registrations. This percentage remained consistent in 2022 as well. For example, during the period of January to April 2023, out of the total new vehicle registrations (4,784), around 4% were new electric car registrations. Of course, this percentage depends on the selection criteria as well.

The data from new vehicle registrations indicate that while the numbers are increasing, the percentage of electric cars on Cypriot roads remains limited. We are slowly rushing towards zero-emission transportation.
