The electric car segment continues to grow as a proportion of car deliveries in Israel. In the period January-November, 9,600 electric cars were delivered in Israel, 700% more than in the corresponding period of 2020. The market share of electric cars has grown from 0.7% last year to 3.4% this year, Trend reports with reference to Globes .
In November alone, 970 electric cars were delivered, 580 of them from Tesla. In the January-November period, Tesla delivered 5,280 cars in Israel, representing 55% of the market. In second place is the MG ZS EV, with a market share of 15.3%, followed by the Aiways U5, with a market share of 4.4%.
By the end of the year, Tesla will increase its market share significantly, after 890 of the company's 3 SR+ model arrive in mid-December. These vehicles were originally supposed to have been unloaded in Ashdod together with the latest consignment of Tesla vehicles from Shanghai, but were not allowed to be unloaded because of delays in obtaining European standard approval. The model incorporates substantial changes, such as a different type of battery. The cars are now waiting at a European port for loading on another ship, due to arrive at Ashdod in the second week of December, unless there are further delays.
Sources at Tesla estimate that sales of its Model Y crossover will begin to Israeli customers early in the first quarter of 2022.
