There are just 3,500 EVs on Bulgarian roads, according to the latest statistic data from 2018. However, their number has been rising between 20 and 50 percent annually, although the pace is much slower than that in Central and Western Europe, Iliya Levkov, chairman of the Electric Vehicles Industrial Cluster has told BNR.
