The Ministry of Economic Development of Russia recognized that Russia is significantly lagging behind the global trend in the transition to electrocarbers. A similar statement in the press service of the departments made, commenting on “Lente.ru” the concept for the development of electric road transport in the country, which the government presented at the end of August. The document suggests that by 2030 there will be more than 1.4 million electric cars in the country. As of the end of last year, electric cars in the country were only about 11 thousand.
“Forecast of 1-1.4 million electric cars, in our opinion, taking into account the essential backlog of Russia from the world trend is the most realistic,” the Ministry of Economic Development was noted in the press service. However, the department stressed that when successful implementation of the concept at the first stage – until 2024 – plans may be revised.
in the department added that the emphasis in the concept was made on the development of its own production. Comfortable conditions for work within Russia are ready to create foreign concerns. “Only domestic production will provide an opportunity to create additional jobs in both the electric transport industry and related industries, and will also create incentives to conduct large-scale investments in research, development and new technologies,” underline the department.
Most imports with the preservation of the zero rate of duty on the import of electrocarbers in the Ministry of Economic Development do not plan. The duty was resettled in May last year until the end of 2021, from 2022 during the import of the car will have to pay 15 percent of its customs value. The agency notes that during the actions of the zero rate in Russia, it became much more used electric vehicles, resulting in risks for those investors who want to establish the production of inexpensive electrocars within the country.
To move to the electrotic, also requires the infrastructure of charging stations. The government suggests that by 2030 more than 140 thousand charged ports will appear in Russia. The Ministry of Economic Development explains that the emphasis will be made on fast charging stations. They allow you to charge an electric vehicle for more than half for 10-15 minutes. Place charging will be quite tight – within a radius of no more than seven kilometers in the city and at a distance of no more than 100 kilometers on the tracks.
Concept for the development of electric transport In Russia, the Government presented in August. The plan will be implemented in two stages: from 2021 to 2024 and from 2025 to 2030. At the first stage, the country is going to achieve production volume of 25 thousand electric vehicles, and by 2030 bring it to a level of 220 thousand. To support the demand, it is planned to introduce preferential leasing and preferential lending, to ensure the benefits of parking. From 2024, for government agencies, it can establish a minimum share of domestic electric cars in a car park. Money on the development of the sector will be attracted from federal and regional budgets and extrabudgetary sources.
