The rise came despite a 12% drop in car deliveries this year due to supply chain problems.
Sources in Israel’s auto industry told Globes that there is a backlog of more than 12,000 electric car orders and that by the end of the year, they should make up 8% of new car sales.
Next January, the purchase tax on electric cars will increase by 10% and apply to orders delayed from 2022.
