AvtoVAZ explained the zero sales of E-Largus electric car in 2024

In an interview with the Drom.ru portal, Vice President for Sales and Marketing Dmitry Kostromin shared the difficulties related to the project. The LADA top manager admitted: the price of an E-Largus electric car turned out to be “difficult to implement this machine”, taking into account competition from Chinese brands. At AvtoVAZ they confirmed that the first electric car was already registered; The next batch is waiting in April.

The production of Lada E-Largus in Izhevsk began at the end of September, then pre-orders began to be accepted. Given state subsidies, the electric car costs 2.99 million rubles: almost twice as much as the basic gasoline version. Therefore, Lada E-Largus will be released only to order, primarily for corporate clients.

The most localized Russian electric car: how they collect Lada E-Largus the latest Niva, Minivan and B-Cross: what was shown by Putin at AvtoVAZ in France included Lada Largus in the rating of supernight vehicles

Dmitry Kostormin said that the increase in utilsbor from January 1 is good news, and AvtoVAZ will see how “the market will play this.” At the moment, Lada E-Largus is a niche product that, by the scale of AvtoVAZ, is “about anything” taking into account the share of the electric car market in one percent. However, the government and the president set the task of creating such a machine, evaluating the price and identifying the difficulties that may arise in serial production. AvtoVAZ completed this task.

All achievements on the Lada E-Largus project were handed over: at the factory they voiced what issues should be solved at the state and legislative levels, so that domestic electric vehicles become truly serial, and electric vehicles in Russia developed. AvtoVAZ has experimental examples of other “batteries” models: they showed both E-Aura and E-Niva.
