From January to April 2026, Uzbekistan imported 23,079 electric vehicles. According to the country's Customs Committee, the total value of imported vehicles was $309.3 million. Thus, the average cost of one electric vehicle was approximately $13,400, Daryo.uz reports.
By comparison, during the same period in 2025, 5,863 electric vehicles worth $88.5 million were imported into the country. Over the course of the year, import volumes increased almost fourfold.
Electric vehicle imports declined sharply in early 2025. Thus, in the first four months of 2024, more than 17,000 electric vehicles were imported into the country, a threefold increase compared to January to April 2025.
Passenger car production is also growing in Uzbekistan. For example, in 2025, 257,800 passenger cars were produced in the country—36,700 more than in 2024.
The "Uzbekistan 2030" strategy aims to increase this figure to 1 million vehicles over the next five years. Specifically, production is planned for 550,000 vehicles in 2027, 700,000 in 2028, and is projected to reach 800,000 by 2029.
