Naturally, this circumstance was reflected in the pricing policy. The average purchase receipt increased by 20-35% compared to previous periods. In particular, the networks record that after massive shelling, sales of charging stations were almost four times higher than the previous day, and in September-October sales volumes increased by 70% compared to the summer of 2025.

The largest difference in prices is recorded in the segment of portable charging stations of the middle class. In particular, when buying abroad, a Ukrainian could save about 61% on Bluetti EB3A charging model, on Bluetti Elite 200 V2 – about 28%, on EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3 – about 25%, on Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 – about 34%, and on Anker SOLIX C300 DC – about 28%.

Experts explain the price gap by several factors: different purchase prices for Ukrainian and foreign markets, large seasonal sales in the European Union and the USA, exchange rate fluctuations, high margins of the local market during peak demand periods, as well as limited import of certain models to Ukraine.

Affects Europe as well

Demand from Ukraine has also affected European equipment stocks. Sergey Silin, brand manager of EcoFlow Ukraine, said that about 80% of the charging stations that were in stock in Europe were directed to the Ukrainian market. He specified that the supplies intended for such countries as France, Germany, the Netherlands and Spain were actually reoriented to Ukraine and were quickly sold out.

According to the quoted source, the average markup on charging stations in Ukraine is usually around 20%, which is the minimum margin for working with large retail chains. Additionally, the final price is influenced by the exchange rate and the use of air delivery, which sellers choose to speed up the delivery of goods when demand is high.
