Electric Vehicle Boom in Georgia: Imports Up Nearly 50%

The US remains the main supplier, but China is gradually strengthening its position amid rapidly growing demand

Georgia is experiencing a sharp acceleration in electric vehicle imports: from January to April 2026, cars worth approximately $51.2 million were imported into the country. During the same period, deliveries amounted to 3,399 units compared to 2,263 a year earlier, representing an increase of almost 50%. The market is rapidly moving away from a niche format and becoming a mass segment, where electric vehicles are becoming a common part of the vehicle fleet.

The structure of deliveries remains highly concentrated. The US leads with 2,676 vehicles, forming the bulk of imports. China is in second place with 442 units, gradually increasing its share. This is followed by Japan (170), Canada (38), and Germany (37), whose presence remains limited and fragmented against the dominance of the American direction.

This picture shows the dual dependence of the market: on the one hand, it still relies on American auction and secondary supplies, which determine prices and availability. On the other hand, China's increasing presence could shift the balance in the coming years, especially with rising logistics costs. An additional factor is the development of charging infrastructure, which means electric vehicles are increasingly seen as an economically calculated choice rather than an experiment, although dependence on external supplies remains high.
