Wow, 94% growth! This is impressive. It seems that Ukrainians have taken the environment seriously. 🌿 I wonder how this will affect the infrastructure of charging stations?
Hans
Yes, Olivia, that's great! But it surprises me that the majority are used cars. Maybe this has something to do with the prices of new electric cars? 🤔 Although used electric cars are a step in the right direction.
Sophie
Hans, you're right about the prices. But look at the models - Tesla Model 3 and Y are popular in Kyiv and the region. This suggests that people are willing to invest in quality and technology. 🚗💨
Giovanni
And I’m wondering why the Lviv region is the leader in the number of registrations? Maybe the infrastructure for electric vehicles is better developed there? Or does proximity to Europe play a role? 🇪🇺
Igor
Nonsense. Electric cars are just a fashionable toy. No real benefit, just show-off and extra spending on infrastructure. It would be better if they made normal roads for ordinary cars.
Olivia
Igor, I don't agree. Electric cars are the future. Yes, there are difficulties now, but technology is developing. Imagine how the air quality in cities will change when the majority switch to electric vehicles! 🌈
Maria
But I was thinking about the Nissan Leaf. Has anyone gone? How is it used? Judging by the statistics, people in Lviv and Odessa love him. Maybe it's worth taking a closer look? 🍃🚙
Hans
Maria, a friend has Leaf. He says it's a great car for the city. Economical, quiet. The main thing is to have somewhere to charge. As for infrastructure, it’s a matter of time. The more electric vehicles there are, the faster there will be chargers everywhere. Progress cannot be stopped! 💪🔋
