More than 73,000 electric vehicles (EVs) are now registered across Uzbekistan, with the vast majority concentrated in the capital city, according to the National Statistics Committee.
As of July 1, 2025, the number of EVs reached 73,600, marking a 12.88% increase since April, or an additional 8,400 vehicles.
Tashkent continues to dominate the country's EV landscape, accounting for 75.8% of all registered electric cars. While this marks a slight drop from 76.2% in April, the capital remains far ahead of other regions. By the end of June, Tashkent had 55,820 registered EVs, up 12.25% over the previous quarter.
The Tashkent region follows at a distant second with 5,262 vehicles, a growth of 16.62% between April and June. Other leading regions include Samarkand (2,075 EVs, up 19.32%), Khorezm (1,659 EVs, up 17.24%), and Kashkadarya (1,519 EVs, up 13.53%).
In the first half of 2025, Uzbekistan imported 14,350 electric vehicles, making up more than half of all vehicle imports during the period. In June alone, 4,567 EVs were delivered, accounting for 76% of monthly car imports. China remains the top supplier of electric vehicles to Uzbekistan.
The country is also rapidly expanding its EV infrastructure. According to the Ministry of Economy and Finance, the number of electric charging stations has increased 2.5 times over the past year to 1,399 units. In Tashkent, the number of stations has nearly tripled to 820, with the capital and the surrounding region now hosting around 70% of all EV charging points.
The number of registered charging station users across Uzbekistan has reached 92,000, highlighting growing interest in electric mobility.
In 1H25, EV sales in Uzbekistan rose sharply by 62.6% y/y, totaling 28,800 units. The strongest growth was observed in the Syrdarya, Khorezm, and Kashkadarya regions, indicating a gradual spread of EV adoption beyond the capital.
Although June sales saw a minor dip of 1.7% compared to May, reaching 5,100 units, analysts say the broader upward trend points to continued expansion in the market.
The Boston Consulting Group earlier projected that Uzbekistan’s automotive market would grow by around 6% annually through 2030, supported by macroeconomic factors such as GDP growth, currency stability, and monetary policy.
