600 charging stations for electric vehicles to be built in Moscow in 3 years

Nine new charging stations for electric and hybrid vehicles were installed in the capital under Energy of Moscow project. This was announced on 15 July by Telegram-channel of Moscow Transport Department. Such stations can charge 18 vehicles at the same time. We should remind that Energy of Moscow  project includes several lines of transport electrification in Moscow. It refers not only to charging stations for electric vehicles, but also to further purchases of electric buses, development of infrastructure for electric scooters and electric bicycles.

The more electric vehicles are in Moscow, the better the ecology is. The head of Energy of Moscow project, Alexandra Shumskaya, confirmed that by 2023, under the project, about 600 green stations are planned to be build in the capital - 200 station per year. The task is to make the transition to electric vehicles convenient for car owners, so, charging terminals should be located near the houses and places of work, next to business centers, shops and cafes. There should be a lot of them. And the charging speed should be close to the "time for taking a cup of coffee", that is, no longer than 20 minutes.
