Russian roads are becoming more electric vehicle-friendly. The government is allocating 5.7 billion rubles to install 1.9 thousand new charging stations in the next three years. This decision, made as part of the national project "Industrial Support for Transport Mobility," will increase the total number of stations to almost 4 thousand. The program subsidizes operators' costs for purchasing equipment and connecting to power grids.
Today, there are already over 2 thousand charging stations operating across the country, providing fast charging. The new stations will make electric car travel more convenient, especially in regions where infrastructure is currently underdeveloped.
It is important to actively develop the geography of such infrastructure so that, of course, owners of such cars throughout the country can easily and conveniently charge them and move around. This is a key factor that stimulates demand for electric vehicles.
In 2024, electric vehicle sales in Russia increased by 30% compared to last year, according to data from the analytical agency "Autostat." New stations will appear not only in large cities but also along highways, which will simplify long-distance travel.
