Russia is experiencing a slow growth in demand for electric vehicles due to drivers' lack of awareness. Many myths about this type of transport are circulating online, according to Andrey Gurlenov, Executive Director of Sitronics Electro, at the "Russia" forum. This was reported to www1.ru by the press service of the "Made by Us" pavilion of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia.
According to our survey, more than half of Russians (59%) are hesitant to switch to electric vehicles due to the insufficient number of charging stations in the city. Almost every second person (48%) considers their high cost to be the main disadvantage, and for 14%, the range of electric vehicle models is too small.
According to the expert, the first myth is largely unfounded, as there are already more than 120 charging stations from Sitronics Electro across the country, and their number is increasing. Among them are 72 ultra-fast charging stations for electric buses, which can simultaneously charge more than 490 vehicles.
The second myth is about the high cost of electric vehicles. Gurlenov emphasized that electric vehicles can be more profitable than traditional ICE vehicles, as they have lower operating costs.
For example, considering maintenance, fuel costs, and other expenses, five years of ownership of a regular Hyundai Solaris will cost an average of 4.8 million rubles, while an Evolute i-Pro electric car will cost 3.7 million rubles.
The third myth is related to the "small" range. Unfortunately, many people simply don't know that domestic electric transport includes passenger cars (Moskvich, Evolute), commercial vehicles (GAZ, EVM PRO), and even passenger small and large vehicles (from GAZ to KamAZ and Volgabus)
It was previously reported that Evolute announced plans to release a hybrid i-Space car.
