You would think EV sales would be increasing in Russia. But the electrical infrastructure is being dismantled also.
That to at least some degree. Electricity is generally there now. It could be worse down the line.
EV sales are increasing, according to articles I've read, but I don't think that there's a really practical way to replace substantial portions of the existing vehicle fleet in a short period of time. Also, the public charging infrastructure is extremely limited, so it's going to be hard to charge an EV unless someone owns a single-family home and charges there.

I could believe maybe electric scooters in urban areas, though that'd be less viable in winter. Someone earlier commented and stated that bicycle prices were up, which seems plausible, though I haven't seen news sources confirming that.

That being said, YoY numbers might be more useful, to control for any seasonal variation.
