OREANDA-NEWS Demand for electric vehicles in Russia will grow by an average of 38 percent annually over the next ten years and by 2033 will reach the level of 340 thousand cars per year. This is reported by the Vedomosti newspaper with reference to the basic forecast of analysts at Strategy Partners.

We are talking about an increase in demand for electric passenger cars, low-tonnage electric trucks and rechargeable hybrids. Experts expect that in the next few years the demand for such types of transport in the country will grow at maximum rates.

According to the baseline scenario, the fleet of electric vehicles in Russia will reach 1.78 million units by the end of this decade and will grow 47 times compared to 2023. Of these, electric trucks will account for 109 thousand. Experts attribute the sharp increase in demand for electric vehicles to a number of factors, including programs to support the production and sales of similar modes of transport in Russia, as well as the projected decrease in the cost of batteries.

Earlier, the head of Rosatom, Alexey Likhachev, said that the share of electric vehicles in the Russian market could reach 40-45 percent by 2030. According to the strategy for the development of electric transport, the annual production volume by this time should be 200-220 thousand units.

LADA Granta family of cars will be equipped with WLY CVT18 variator. About it to the portal "Auto Mail.ru" told a source at AVTOVAZ, adding that the presentation of such version of Granta is scheduled for 2024.

Meanwhile, the director of LADA Vesta project Oleg Grunenkov denied this information, stating to the portal "Lada.Online" that the Chinese variator WLY CVT18 will not be installed on LADA Granta, because there is not enough space in the engine compartment of cars of this family. Currently, LADA Granta is equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission, and recently in the range of modifications appeared a version with automatic transmission Jatco from the stocks that the plant has left from old deliveries. In total, about 5 thousand cars with these transmissions will be produced, as new deliveries of these boxes are not expected.
The WLY CVT18 variator in the Russian specification has increased the oil volume to 7.2 liters to ensure greater reliability. Lubricant replacement is provided after the first 30 thousand kilometers of mileage. It is not yet known how much more expensive LADA Granta with variator will become, but the two-pedal Vesta with variator and 1.8 EVO engine has added about 75 thousand rubles to the price in compare with a similar configuration with "manual" and 1.6 engine (106 hp).
