From 2012 to 2018, registrations were in the tens. The big shift appears after 2020, then accelerates sharply in 2023 and keeps climbing in 2024 and 2025.
Mauritius imports all its fuel, so electric cars are more than a tech trend:
| Make | Total |
|---|---|
| Nissan | 1,304 |
| BMW | 1,258 |
| BYD | 563 |
| Kia | 461 |
| MG | 265 |
Other notable totals: Porsche (265), Volvo (205), Mercedes-Benz (210), Mini Cooper (197), Audi (154).
New EV brands now entering the market: Mauritius is also seeing newer electric models from Ridarra, Smart, Dongfeng, BYD, Tata, GAC, Deepal, Mini, MG, Proton, Citroën, Porsche, Chery, Geely and Kaiyi. This shows the EV offer is widening beyond early adopters, with more choice across city cars, SUVs and fleet-friendly vehicles.
The top 5 brands account for 3,851 registrations, about 66.1% of all electric cars (2012–2025).
| Make | Share |
|---|---|
| Nissan | 22.4% |
| BMW | 21.6% |
| BYD | 9.7% |
| Kia | 7.9% |
| MG | 4.5% |
Electric cars dominate the EV picture. Other categories are still small, but they matter (especially for fleets and public transport).
| Vehicle type | Total (2012–2025) |
|---|---|
| Car | 5,826 |
| Van | 84 |
| Double cab pick-up | 53 |
| Bus | 18 |
| Dual purpose vehicle | 3 |
| Motor car | 2 |
| Lorry / Truck | 1 |
| Total EVs (all types) | 5,987 |
