Economy Minister Gevorg Papoyan, during a Facebook livestream, provided details on how Armenia’s 15,000 electric vehicle (EV) import quota for 2026 will be distributed.
He stated that out of the 15,000 EV quota, 12,000 will be allocated to private individuals and legal entities that are not authorized dealers.
“3,000 will be distributed to dealer entities, meaning those who officially represent a manufacturer in Armenia,” Papoyan said.
He also noted that tax exemptions will apply only to vehicles manufactured in the last two years or in 2026.
“To qualify for exemption from customs duties and clearance fees, the vehicle must be manufactured in 2024, 2025, or 2026,” he added.
In 2025, Armenia was granted an 8,000-unit EV import quota under EAEU regulations, 90% of which was used up early in the year.
