The Moscow government has allocated 130 million rubles for the implementation of the program for the development of a public network of charging stations for electric vehicles (EZS). The corresponding decree was signed by the mayor of the city Sergei Sobyanin.
According to the press service of the mayor and the government of the capital on December 8, 109 charging stations for electric vehicles operate in Moscow. At the same time, 42 of them comply with the new city standard approved by the Moscow Department of Transport and Development of Road Transport Infrastructure. The main advantage of such EZS is the ability to charge an electric vehicle in 20 minutes.
At the moment, work is underway to place 200 charging stations of the new standard. By 2023, 600 such electric filling stations should appear in Moscow.
On October 15, it was reported that there were 12,290 light electric vehicles in Russia as of mid-2021.
Most of all in Russia Nissan Leaf hatchbacks – 9273 units, which is 75.5% of the total number of electric cars in the country. In second place is the Mitsubishi I-MiEV with 443 units. This is followed by the Porsche Taycan (369 units), which appeared on our market in the fall of 2020, but has already taken the third place in the “electric park”.
