EV prices

Price data is only available for regions marked with $ symbol.

Average sale price
"Price" refers to the Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price (MSRP), also known as the sticker price, which includes VAT, purchase taxes and dealer mark-ups, but excludes purchase subsidies and registration taxes. It differs from the transaction price in that it does not account for any rebates and discounts applied at the dealership. Price of electric cars in China has been increased by 10% to adjust for the NEV registration tax exemption. Only size/powertrain combinations with more than 100 sales in the latest year are shown.

Battery electric vehicles

 PHEV

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles

 EREV

Extended range electric vehicles are a subset of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles that have both a plug-in rechargeable battery and an internal combustion engine, which only operates without direct mechanical connection to the wheels to recharge the battery through an electric generator.

ICE

Internal comubstion engine vehicles. Price differences here are shown relative to the average ICE model price for that size class.
