Russian Deputy Prime Minister Andrei Belousov instructed to create a unified service for using charging stations for electric vehicles. He said this at a meeting dedicated to the implementation of the national project "Electric Vehicle and Hydrogen Vehicle", the press service of the Cabinet reported.
The point is to create a digital environment that will facilitate Russians' access to charging infrastructure.
In the next six years, the number of charging stations should increase by more than 10 times. With the increase in their number, it is necessary to give motorists comfortable access to up-to-date information about their work
The Deputy Prime Minister also ordered the development of a set of requirements for services about charging stations. In particular, the ability to track the status of the station and individual connectors in real time. In addition, the stations need to be added to cartographic services. Belousov called this work the "digital binding" of the charging infrastructure.
Currently, there are 1150 fast charging stations for electric vehicles operating in Russia. The fleet of electric vehicles exceeds 40 thousand units, and a quarter of them are produced in Russia.
