The Government of the Russian Federation has decided on the standards for charging electric vehicles in Russia

On February 22, 2024, it became known about the revision of the order of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, which defines the requirements for subsidized fast charging stations for electric vehicles. Under the changes, the European CCS2 standard and the Chinese GB/T will become mandatory, and the government decided to abandon the outdated Japanese CHAdeMO connector.

The changes are aimed at optimizing the configuration options for the charging station in accordance with the current situation of the electric vehicle fleet in the regions where the EZS is located, the Ministry of Industry and Trade explained to Kommersant.

Requirements for subsidized electric vehicle fast charging stations identified

The publication of the newspaper notes that the world's most common standard for electric vehicle charging stations is European CCS2, in China - GB/T, and in Japan - CHAdeMO. The latter was put on early models, including the Nissan Leaf, and by 2024 is less popular.

Cars officially supplied in the Russian Federation are usually equipped with CCS2 connectors. On machines imported by parallel import, there are Chinese connectors. In the premium segment, the GB/T connector is the leader.

Sitronics Group advisor Armen Safarian, speaking to the newspaper, suggested that freeing investors from the obligation to install the CHAdeMO connector would give more flexibility. During the operation of the stations, it became obvious that in a number of regions the outdated CHAdeMO standard is not popular, he stressed. In the Sitronics Electro network, GB/T accounts for about 45% of the number of charging sessions, 42% for CCS2.

According to the 2Chargers service, by February 2024 in Russia there are a total of 4,500 electric charging stations (EZS), 779 of which are fast. The installation of fast ESS is subsidized by the state: up to 60% (that is, up to 1.86 million rubles) of the cost of charging and up to 30% (up to 900,000 rubles) of the technical connection to the electric network is compensated.^[1]

The Ministry of Digital Development will oblige operators of fast charging stations for electric vehicles to use Russian software for subsidies

On February 20, 2024, the Ministry of Digital Development of the Russian Federation published an order "On establishing the characteristics of the equipment software of charging infrastructure facilities for fast charging of electric road transport." In accordance with the document, operators of such stations must use domestic software to gain access to state support.

The state subsidizes the costs of entrepreneurs and legal entities for the installation of fast charging stations within the framework of the state program for the development of power. In particular, up to 60% of the costs (but not more than 1.86 million rubles) for the purchase of a charging device and up to 30% of the costs (but not more than 900 thousand rubles) for the technical connection to the power grid are compensated.

To gain access to state support, gas station operators must use domestic software

In accordance with the order of the Ministry of Digital Development, from January 1, 2025, in order to receive state support for software for charging stations and control systems, they must be of Russian origin. Another requirement is to support the Open Charge Point Protocol (Open Charge Point Protocol) version at least 2.01 for communication between the charging station and the operator's central control system. The use of OCPI (Open Charge Point Interface) protocol version at least 2.2.1 is required in order to organize interaction between charging station network operators.

According to Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak, in 2023, 712 fast charging stations for electric vehicles were built in the country. In 2024, it is planned to commission more than 1.1 thousand such installations. In addition, about 3.3 thousand slow chargers will be created. In Moscow, the total number of charging stations for electric vehicles by the beginning of 2024 increased to 240 units. At the same time, residents of the Russian capital began to use city electric charging stations almost three times more often than in 2022.^[2]

In the Chelyabinsk region will spend 82.8 million rubles at stations for electric vehicles

In 2024, another 30 charging stations for electric vehicles will be installed in the Chelyabinsk region. This was announced on February 1, 2024 by the Minister of Economic Development of the region Natalya Lugacheva.

According to her, 82.8 million rubles will be allocated from the budget of the Chelyabinsk region to expand the network of electric charging stations. By the beginning of February 2024, 92 electric car charging stations operate in the region, 67 are located in Chelyabinsk, 17 in other municipalities, and 8 more along federal and regional roads. The plans are to build new charging points for cars not only in large cities, but also on highways of regional and federal significance. The most developed electric charging network in Chelyabinsk, in the future it is planned to expand it to the entire Chelyabinsk agglomeration, Natalia Lugacheva noted.

Another 30 charging stations for electric vehicles will be installed in the Chelyabinsk region

He also recalled that by February 2024, measures are in place in the Chelyabinsk region to support the development of electric charging infrastructure and private electric transport, including the abolition of the transport tax for owners of electric vehicles. From 2024, it is planned to introduce the provision of subsidies to licensed taxi companies for the purchase of electric vehicles.

Chelyabinsk region participates in a pilot project [[Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation (Ministry of Energy) | RF Ministry of Energy]], under which entrepreneurs can receive a subsidy for the installation of a fast electric charging station in the amount of 60% of the actual costs incurred, but not more than 1.86 million rubles. The first refueling for "green" cars within the framework of the project of the Ministry of Energy was put into operation in the Mias city district on the highway M5 "Ural." It is a high-speed station (150 kW) that has three kinds of connectors: CHAdeMO, GB/T and CCS Combo 2.

According to the traffic police department in the Chelyabinsk region, as of January 1, 2023, 385 electric vehicles were registered in the region.^[3]

Mishustin approved 26 regions to launch electric charging stations there under the state program

Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed a decree approving a list of 26 new regions of the Russian Federation to launch electric car charging stations there under the federal state program. The corresponding document was published in December 2023.

The roadmap for the creation of infrastructure for electric transport involves the development and production of such machines. It is planned that by 2030 in the country the share of produced domestic electric vehicles in the total volume of automaking will reach at least 10%. In addition, by this time, according to the authors of the initiative, at least 72 thousand charging stations will be launched in Russia, of which at least 28 thousand are for fast charging.

As the head of the Tambov region Maxim Egorov noted, commenting on the region's accession to the federal pilot project for the development of charging infrastructure for electric transport, in 2024 it is planned to build five more charging stations for electric vehicles in the region, three of which will be installed in Tambov and one each in Michurinsk and Rasskazov. The region will receive a federal subsidy of almost 12.6 million rubles to expand the charging infrastructure for electric vehicles next year. Additionally, another 1.2 million rubles will be allocated from the regional budget on co-financing terms.

Government of the Russian Federation Order of December 8, 2023 No. 3517-r

Ministry of Digital Development translates fast charging for electric vehicles to Russian software

On December 8, 2023, the Ministry of Digital Development of the Russian Federation presented a draft order, according to which fast charging stations for electric vehicles should be transferred to domestic software. The published document defines the requirements for the software of electric stations, as well as for the software of their operators.

From January 1, 2025, charging stations for electric vehicles in Russia must support the OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol) and OCPI (Open Charge Point Interface) protocols. The first of them is designed to organize communication between the charging station and the operator's central control system. In turn, OCPI is necessary for information exchange between charging infrastructure operators, which allows stations to communicate with each other.

In accordance with the requirements of the Ministry of Digital Development, charging equipment in Russia must support the OCPP protocol version at least 2.01 and OCPI version at least 2.2.1. The corresponding software should be included in the unified register of Russian programs for electronic computers and databases or in the register of software of members of the Eurasian Economic Union.

The document emphasizes that no financial, economic and/or statistical analysis was carried out, which led to the need for changes. This is explained by the fact that the implementation of measures related to the adoption of the draft order will not affect the income or expenses of the budget system of the Russian Federation, legal entities and individuals.

According to the 2Chargers service, by the beginning of December 2023, there are about 4,500 electric stations in Russia, of which almost 780 support fast charging. The installation of such stations is subsidized by the state: up to 60% (up to 1.86 million rubles) of the cost of charging and up to 30% (up to 900 thousand rubles) of the technical connection to the power grid is compensated. Own software is used by Parus-Electro, PSS, Yablochkov and Revatt^[4]

Japan has a road with the function of wireless charging of electric vehicles at traffic lights

In mid-October 2023, in the city of Kashiwa in southeastern Japan (Chiba Prefecture), the operation of the first road with the function of wireless charging of electric vehicles began. It is assumed that this technology in the future will partially solve the problem of lack of charging stations, and will also help reduce the mass of battery packs in electrified vehicles.

The idea is to transfer energy to electric vehicles in traffic light placement areas, where cars usually slow down or stop completely. To do this, special coils are mounted in the roadway, creating an electromagnetic field. Receiving coils are arranged at vehicle bottom near wheels. According to the principle of operation, the system is similar to wireless charging of smartphones. It is claimed that 10 seconds of energy transmission in this way is enough to increase the range of an electric car by about 1 km. The technology is also suitable for charging hybrid vehicles with the ability to connect to the electric network.

The wireless charging platform for electric vehicles at traffic lights is being developed through a partnership that includes the University of Tokyo, tire maker Bridgestone, auto parts suppliers NSK and Denso, Mitsui Fudosan Group and Chiba University. Energy transmission is activated only when sensors in the roadway record the passage of a compatible vehicle.

The road with charging function in Kasiv will be tested until March 2025. The project participants intend to assess the safety of the platform, durability, efficiency and other parameters. After that, a decision will be made to implement the system nationwide. The technology, among other things, will solve the problem of a possible shortage of batteries as the production of electric vehicles grows.^[5]

The budget of the Russian Federation laid down the construction of 3 thousand charging stations for electric vehicles in 2024

By the end of 2024, almost 3 thousand charging stations for electric vehicles should be installed in Russia. This is stated in the materials for the draft budget of the Russian Federation for 2024 and the planning period 2025-2026, the TASS agency reported on October 2, 2023 with reference to the corresponding document.

It follows from it that in order to create a charging infrastructure for electric cars until 2024, a list of pilot territories and federal highways should be determined. The same materials mention that the level of localization of electric vehicles in Russia should reach 70% by 2030. An increase in the level of general localization is planned to be achieved, including by increasing the depth of localization of cells, including cathode and anode materials. In addition, by 2030, they will try to increase the share of electric vehicles in the total production of vehicles in Russia to 10%.

Work on the development of electric transport and charging infrastructure is underway as part of the implementation of the strategic initiative of socio-economic development "Electric car and hydrogen car" and the concept of developing the production and use of electric transport in Russia until 2030, curated by First Deputy Prime Minister Andrei Belousov. From 2022 to 2026, it is planned to allocate almost 128.5 billion rubles for the implementation of the Electric Car and Hydrogen Car project.

We expect by 2030 that electric vehicles will account for at least 10% (730.8 thousand units) of the total production of vehicles in Russia. Also, we plan to form a sufficient charging infrastructure - "fast" charging stations with a capacity of 150 kW will cover federal highways and the largest cities throughout the country. Their number should be at least 28 thousand pieces. All key components of the charging infrastructure, batteries, fuel cells and electric vehicles will be Russian-made, - said earlier Deputy Minister of Economic Development of Russia Maxim Kolesnikov.[6]

How much does it cost to refuel an electric car in Russia

The cost of charging electric vehicles at public electric filling stations (EZS) is about 15-25 rubles per 1 kWh. The newspaper Kommersant wrote about this in February 2023 with reference to market participants.

According to the publication, in 30 regions of the Russian Federation, the final price of electricity for commercial consumers at low voltage exceeds 8 rubles per 1 kWh, and in 19 regions it is 7-7.9 rubles. In general, the cost of fast charging in Russia reaches 30 rubles per 1 kWh, but this level also remains one of the lowest in Europe (for example , in Germany, Belgium - €0.69 per 1 kWh), they say in the Green Drive operator (25 EZS in the Russian Federation).

Lipetsk electric vehicle manufacturer Motorinvest at a meeting in the Ministry of Economic Development proposed several measures to stimulate the development of this industry in Russia. As Kommersant found out, the company, in particular, called for fixing the price of energy for electric cars at 8 rubles per 1 kWh.

The Rosseti"" noted that the cost of charging "will be significantly reduced" if taxis and car sharing begin to transfer their parks to electric vehicles and can load the charging infrastructure by 60-70%.

[Это] will entail a decrease in tariffs and guarantee the payback of projects for the installation of ESS in the medium term, the company said.]

By February 2023, the charging price for Rosseti ESS is from 15 to 25 rubles per 1 kWh, depending on the region.

The idea of ​ ​ fixing electricity prices was supported by the general director of Citidraiv Eduard Mingazhev, although he called the proposed price "too optimistic" given the increase in electricity tariffs and inflation. However, he opposed quotas for purchases of electric vehicles. The idea was not supported in Citymobile either. Yandex.Taxi said that in the context of a shortage of cars, quotas in favor of certain types of transport will create "an additional burden on parks."^[7]

The main manufacturers of cars electric vehicles Russia in - Lipetsk "" and Motorinvest"" - Muscovite will produce charging stations for such vehicles, and Kaliningrad "" Avtotor plans to establish the production of electronic DC and AC units for charging from other manufacturers from 2024. This became known on July 17, 2023.

Andrey Reznikov, managing partner of the company, told Vedomosti that Motorinvest plans to start producing charging stations. He did not give details of the project, noting only that the start of work on it is scheduled for late 2023 - early 2024. At the first stage, it will be mastering the release of third-party chargers, the source added.

The capital's Moskvich plant also intends to produce its own charging stations. The company announced plans to produce about 2,000 electric charging stations (EZS), 800 of which are fast (average charging time up to 80% - half an hour) and 1200 are slow (charge the car up to 40% in two hours). It will take about 10 months to develop draft documentation, test prototypes and start production, and 60% of the necessary components must be provided by local suppliers.

Kaliningrad Avtotor will begin producing AC and DC units for charging stations in test mode at the end of 2023. In the first quarter of 2024, the assembly will be put on stream and the units will be supplied to the final manufacturers of ESS. The production capacity will allow the company to produce 90,000 kits a year, the company said.

The CEO of Touch Production, Yuri Orlov, says that by July 2023, the shortage of charging stations is increasingly felt in large cities, as the portrait of the owner of an electric car gradually shifts towards a city dweller living in an apartment building.^[8]

The Ministry of Construction allowed the installation of charges for electric vehicles in the courtyards of houses without the consent of residents

The Ministry of Construction approved changes in the code of rules to ensure the safe placement of parking spaces for electric vehicles equipped with chargers. This was announced on July 12, 2023 by the First Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Belousov during a conference call on the development of electric transport.

Our main task is to establish uniform regulatory requirements for design and construction, providing understandable rules for creating a safe infrastructure for electric vehicles throughout the country, "he said.

As Izvestia writes with reference to a letter from the Ministry of Construction to enterprises in the housing and communal services industry, management companies can get the right to install charging stations for electric vehicles in parking lots and adjoining territories without the consent of residents and contacting energy supply organizations. In addition, developers may be obliged to install charges already at the stage of construction of residential buildings.

This initiative of the Ministry of Construction became known against the background of a shortage of electric vehicle charging stations in the Russian Federation. Owners of electric cars are forced to specifically look for them, planning their routes depending on this, Mikhail Krapivny, founder and CEO of Edison Technologies, told the newspaper. The company supported the initiative of the Ministry of Construction, noting that such stations will not prevent residents from using the infrastructure and will not create "domestic inconveniences."

Vice-President of NP "National Housing Congress" Alexander Gulylev also reacted positively to the initiative, stressing that the Criminal Code, which knows what capacities the house can withstand, should be responsible for the placement of charging stations.

A separate meter should be installed on each charge and made paid, agrees Sergei Kolunov, a member of the State Duma Committee on Construction and Housing and Communal Services. Then the tenants will not worry, and everyone will have the opportunity to use an electric car, he explained.^[9]

How the production of charging stations for electric vehicles is developing in Russia

At the end of 2022, 439 fast charging stations in 12 regions were created in Russia as part of the strategic initiative of socio-economic development "Electric Car and Hydrogen Car." The pace of expansion of the relevant infrastructure is increasing, as reported in mid-October 2023.

In particular, in 2023, the number of subjects participating in the named project increased to 34. By 2024, the number of charging stations for electric vehicles within the framework of this initiative alone will reach approximately 3 thousand. The main support measure is an interbudgetary transfer in the amount of 2.7 million rubles: the money is provided as a subsidy for the construction of one electric charging station. About 1.8 million rubles of this amount goes to the purchase of equipment, and another 900 thousand rubles - to the technological connection to the power grids.

Efficient charging stations are designed by several Russian companies. According to RBC, the company "Advanced power" from the Yaroslavl region has developed a system based on a hybrid gas piston installation, which is able to simultaneously charge up to five cars without using electricity from the city network. The engine is powered by pipeline or liquefied gas, and a hydrogen version will appear in the future. It takes about 20 minutes to replenish the energy reserve of the battery pack of an electric car. Excess energy is stored in storage. The station is based on Russian components.

Another project in this area is being implemented by Yablochkov from St. Petersburg: it designs stations capable of charging an electric car in 15 minutes. The control controller and the necessary software are developed by the company's own engineers. As of October 2023, there are about 150 such installations in Russia, which produced about 1.5 million charging sessions.^[10]

439 stations for ultra-fast charging of electric vehicles installed in Russia

In 2022, 439 fast electric charging stations (EZS) were installed in Russia, First Deputy Head of the Government of the Russian Federation Andrei Belousov said on February 8, 2023. We are talking about equipment with a capacity of 150 kW, which allows you to charge the average electric car by 80% in about half an hour.

The power of slow ESS is 44 kW, the charging time of the electric car to 40% is at least 2 hours. In 2023, according to Deputy Minister of Energy Pavel Sorokin, 872 fast ESS should be put into operation in 39 regions.

According to Andrei Belousov, in 2023, 34 pilot regions will receive subsidies for the commissioning of fast charging stations. By 2024, the number of charging stations in Russia only within the framework of the initiative should be about 3 thousand units, he added.

The introduction of fast charges is subsidized by the state. The main support measure is an interbudgetary transfer in the amount of 2.7 million rubles, it is provided as a subsidy for the construction of one ESS. Of these, about 1.8 million rubles - a subsidy for the purchase of equipment, and another 900 thousand - for technological connection to power grids.

The development of electric transport and charging infrastructure is decided in close cooperation between relevant departments - the Ministry of Economic Development, the Ministry of Industry and Trade and the Ministry of Energy as part of the strategic initiative for socio-economic development "Electric Car and Hydrogen Car" and the Concept for the Development of the Production and Use of Electric Transport in Russia until 2030, approved by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.

The Ministry of Industry and Trade ordered manufacturers of chargers for electric vehicles to introduce the Chinese standard

In early June 2022, it became known about the new requirements for charging stations for electric vehicles approved by the Ministry of Industry and Trade. In accordance with the provisions of the order, the equipment must have three connectors and be equipped with at least one connector of the Chinese GB/T standard. The manufacturer can also choose to install either one CCS2 (European) or one CHAdeMO (Japanese) connector.

The manufacturer is obliged to install at least one GB/T connector, although there are very few such machines in Russia, but at the same time they leave a choice between CCS and CHAdeMO. The manufacturer is likely to make a choice in favor of the outdated 50 kW CHAdeMO connector to receive a subsidy, "Dmitry Matvievsky, CEO of Aichi Charge, commented to Kommersant.

The only Chinese electric car JAC officially presented in Russia iEV7 comes with the CCS standard, said RusGidrovais, a joint venture between Sollers Group and the RusHydro structure of Hydroinvest JSC, which is developing electric sharing in the Far East with this car. The Chinese GB/T standard, in fact, replaces the CHAdeMO and CCS2 connectors, said Andrey Gurlenov, executive director of Sitronics Electro in early June 2022.

According to him, in a couple of years up to 70% of electric vehicles in Russia will be with a Chinese charging port. He expects Russian-made electric cars to be with the Chinese port, too.

The company Chery, which only planned to present electric cars in the Russian Federation, told the publication that the process of adapting and certifying machines with the CCS standard was launched for Russia. However, against the background of the government's plans to put charging stations with mandatory GB/T, the company, they said, may reconsider its plans and return to it for this market as well.^[13]

The Government of the Russian Federation obliged the regions to install charges for electric vehicles in parking lots

At the end of April 2022, the government commission on legislative activities approved the draft amendments to the legislation obliging local authorities and road owners to organize mandatory charging stations for electric vehicles.

As the chairman of the board of the Russian Bar Association Vladimir Gruzdev told reporters , the initiative assumes that parking spaces equipped with chargers for electric cars and hybrid cars will be allocated in Russian cities. The number of such places will be determined by the documentation on the organization of traffic (each region, city and settlement independently approves it). The innovation will create a condition for stimulating the development of environmentally friendly transport, Interfax reports.

Gruzdev recalled that, according to the concept for the development of the production and use of electric road transport for the period up to 2030 year, by 2030 10% from all cars produced in Russia should be equipped with batteries and electric motors.

According to Kommersant, the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation, with the support of the Ministry of Justice and the expert department of the presidential administration of the Russian Federation, pointed out that the new responsibilities for the subjects to organize parking "may entail the need to allocate additional allocations," so first you need to decide on their source. The regions will not need additional money, the government department of transport answered: the subjects of the federation, based on their own financial capabilities, will decide where and in what amount to create parking lots.

Vice-President of the National Automobile Union Anton Shaparin, in a conversation with the publication, noted that by April 2022, most of the components for electric vehicle charging stations are supplied from abroad, so investments in such parking lots, in his opinion, are hardly needed.^[14]

Brokenwire attack allows you to remotely interrupt the charging process of electric vehicles

Researchers Oxford University and specialists from the Federal Defense Procurement Administration (Switzerland Armasuisse) have identified a new method that attacks allows remote intervention in the charging process of electrical transport means. This became known on March 31, 2022.

The attack, called Brokenwire, involves wirelessly sending malicious signals to the attacked vehicle in order to cause electromagnetic interference and disrupt the charging process.

The attack targets the Combined Charging System (DC fast charging stations) and involves interference with the communication process between the charger and the vehicle.

The researchers emphasize that the attack only works in relation to DC fast charging stations. Home charging stations, typically using AC charging, are invulnerable to Brokenwire as they use other communication standards.

During the experiments, the researchers managed to attack seven types of vehicles and 18 charges at a distance of up to 47 m using a software-defined radio, a 1-watt radio-frequency amplifier and a dipole antenna. The attack successfully worked at a distance of several floors, over fences and even if passing a charging vehicle.

Not only electric cars, but also electric ships, aircraft and heavy vehicles are subject to attack by Brokenwire.

Once the attack starts, the car will not charge until the attack stops and it is manually reconnected to the charging station. Experts noted that while the attack could be used to interrupt the charging process, it does not appear to cause irreversible damage to systems.

The researchers reported their discovery to affected manufacturers, and some technical details of the attack were not made public to prevent possible abuse. According to the researchers, the attack can be carried out using ready-made radio equipment and with minimal technical knowledge^[15].

We are talking about electric charging stations operating from DC with a power of 150 kW with a charging period of up to 30 minutes. They are included in the list of objects and technologies of high energy efficiency signed by Mishustin.

The following preferences will apply to the objects and technologies on the list:

• investment tax credit;
• increasing factors to the depreciation rate;
• exemption from property tax.

The need for a resolution is due to the growth of the electric transport fleet in Russia, which requires the creation of a mass network of EZS, the Cabinet emphasized.

According to the Association for the Development of Electric, Unmanned and Connected Vehicles and Infrastructure for January 2022, about 1,500 charges for electric cars have been installed in Russia.

According to the concept for the development of the production and use of electric road transport in the Russian Federation, by 2030 it is necessary to deploy a network of 29 thousand fast electric charging stations in the country. They must charge the battery to 80% in no more than 20-30 minutes.

It follows from the same concept that by the end of 2024 at least 25 thousand electric cars will be produced in the country, and by 2030 every tenth car produced in the Russian Federation should be electric.

In Moscow, it is planned to spend 130 million rubles on fast charging stations for electric vehicles. By February 2022, there are only 109 stations in the capital, but only 42 of them meet the standards of the city authorities.^[17]

Ministry of Energy creates a single operator of gas stations for electric vehicles in Russia

On October 7, 2021, it became known about the order given by the Ministry of Energy by Deputy Prime Minister Andrei Belousov to deal with the issue of creating a federal operator of charging infrastructure for electric vehicles in Russia.

According to Kommersant"," the proposal to appoint Rosseti"" as an operator of gas stations for electric vehicles sounded at a meeting with Belousov at the end of July 2021. Gosholding has already prepared a presentation on the development of charging infrastructure. It says that the company will "develop uniform technical requirements" for stations, install them, receive documents of technical connection to power grids, connect stations to an online platform for management, as well as deal with their technical and sanitary services.

The newspaper says that the choice of Rosseti is criticized, as the group owns a monopoly on access to power grids. At the same time, the issue of developing a single technical regulation is acute, which can complicate the access of independent manufacturers to the network. According to the sources of the publication, Rosseti is lobbying for the idea of ​ ​ a single operator, but there are several players on the market, and Rosseti is not a leader compared to the rest.

By the beginning of October 2021, Rosseti has 263 electric vehicle charging stations, but in the next four years their number is planned to be increased to 1.34 thousand. The KRET concern (part of Rostec) has 130 charges, RusHydro (owns generation and networks in the Far East) has 55 fast charges in the Far East, Mosenergo (part of Gazprom Energoholding) has more than 70 stations in Moscow.

To form a standard, a single operator is not needed, but a single industry solution is needed, emphasizes Dmitry Babansky from SBS Consulting.

The development of the charging infrastructure has many potential beneficiaries who can integrate it into their activities, for example, oil or power grid companies, which, for example, is successfully engaged in RusHydro"" in the Far East, where the large fleet of such machines is now concentrated by the standards of the Russian Federation, he stressed.[19]

California to install 40,000 electric vehicle gas stations

August 27, 2020 Commission on the activities of utilities California services unanimously approved construction program the largest network of charging stations for electric vehicles in the United States.

In total, within the framework of the program, it is planned to build more than 40 thousand chargers stations for 4 years. To complete this task, the budget will $436 million has been allocated. The project will be implemented by the network company Southern California Edison.

Earlier, in 2014, California authorities in conjunction with Southern California Edison announced a construction program in the state of 1.5 thousand. charging stations for electric vehicles. The cost of the program was $22 million And it was the first part of a larger initiative.

The new program is a continuation of the previous program. And her goal consists in the equipment of charging stations of large and long-term accumulation of cars, such as office buildings and apartment buildings, including in the areas in which they live a population with a small income level.

As noted in the commission, the lack of charging stations at home and work, that is, where it would be most convenient to charge an electric car, inhibits the spread of this environmentally friendly transport.

California authorities plan to see on state roads by the end of 2030 5 million electric vehicles. The development of a network of gas stations is expected contributes to the implementation of this plan. By the end of 2025 in the state, according to government plans, there should be over 250 thousand. stations where it will be possible to recharge an electric car.

2019: Global electric vehicle charging stations up 60%

In mid-June 2020, the International Energy Agency (IEA) published a research report, according to which the number of public charging stations for electric vehicles in 2019 increased by 60%.

The problem of installing charging stations is often described as a "chicken and eggs" task: electric cars will not be popular until public charging stations are available and they will not be installed until electric cars are popular. This problem is smoothed out by private charging points for electric vehicles. However, public charging stations are more convenient for owners and are extremely important for the widespread introduction of a new type of transport.

The IEA report said that at the end of 2019 there were about 7.3 million charging points in the world, but most of them are private (6.5 million). Their popularity is facilitated by cost effectiveness and a variety of support policies (such as preferential tariffs, equipment purchase benefits and discounts). At the same time, according to analysts, the number of public charging stations in 2019 increased by 60%. In 2018, public charging stations accounted for 12% of the world's light vehicle chargers, and most of them were slow. In 2019, globally, the number of public chargers (slow and fast) has increased by 60% - that is, the number of stations is growing faster than the number of electric vehicles.

In addition, the IEA reports that the share of fast charging stations among those first deployed in 2019 is 31%. Such high growth is driven by the operation of several chains, including Tesla Supercharger, Ionity and Electrify America, which also grew significantly in 2019. In general, China, the world's largest electric vehicle market, is leading in installing charging stations.^[21]

2018: Opening of the first fast charging station for electric vehicles in the suburbs

First Deputy Minister of Energy of the Russian Federation Alexey Leonidovich Teksler took part in the opening ceremony of the first fast charging station for electric vehicles in the Moscow Region on June 9, 2018.

The event was attended by the Minister of Energy of the Moscow Region Leonid Neganov, First Deputy General Director of TD "Oil Highway" Kirill Malinin, Deputy General Director of JSC "KRET" Maxim Motorin, Deputy General Director - Chief Engineer of JSC "Sheremetyevo International Airport" Denis Maslov.

"This is a significant event for the development of charging infrastructure in the Moscow region. It is important that we open a fast charging station of domestic production, which almost 100% consists of domestic components, "said Alexey Teksler.

According to him, despite the fact that there are not so many electric vehicles in Russia yet, there is a significant increase in them annually and the question arises of the development of the charging infrastructure.

"The government pays attention to this issue, in particular, the development of electric transport was included in the strategy for the development of the automotive industry approved by the Government in April," the deputy minister added.

Alexey Teksler also said that 10 fast charging stations will be installed in the Moscow region by the end of the year. Their specificity lies in the fact that in half an hour you can raise the charge from 0 to 80% of the battery capacity, therefore, charging will be more comfortable for the consumer.

Electric gas station in Yekaterinburg

In the center of Yekaterinburg, on Boris Yeltsin Street, the only EZS in the city (electric gas station) was installed and put into operation. In 2013, the station was installed near the President BC, but in the summer of 2016 it was dismantled for technical reasons. In December 2017, an updated electric station was launched in the neighborhood - near the building of JSC "EESK."

The electric vehicle fast charging station allows you to recharge the electric car battery to 80% of the capacity in half an hour. The ESC meets all modern safety and energy efficiency requirements and provides DC charging in Mode 4 in accordance with the international protocol standard CHAdeMO.

To use the services of the charging station, the driver of the electric car needs to contact the Customer Service Center of EESK JSC, located a few meters from the station, and get an access card.

As Dmitry Pomeranets, Acting Managing Director of EESK JSC, notes, the development of charging infrastructure for electric transport is a requirement of a new time: "The inaccessibility of electric charging stations impedes the development of electric transport not only in Yekaterinburg, but also in the region as a whole. For example, the owner of an electric car from Perm regularly uses the services of our official "slow" charging, coming to the Ural capital on business. Until the infrastructure is sufficiently developed, the Urals will not begin to purchase electric cars. Meanwhile, 4 years of using an official electric car in the EESC showed that electric fuel is more economical than the usual gasoline. Not to mention the environmental benefits of using this type of transport. "

Note that earlier a specialized organization was engaged in the maintenance of innovative refueling. Now the maintenance of the technical serviceability of the ESS equipment installed on the street. B. Eltsin, the power engineers of JSC "EESK" will carry out independently.

120 electric charging stations for cars to be installed in Kazakhstan

In Kazakhstan, the Ministry of Energy of the Republic will install 100 electric charging stations for electric vehicles in Almaty and Astana by the end of 2017. Another 20 ESS for instant charging will be located along the Astana-Almaty republican highway. In Astana, the first electric filling stations have already appeared on the territory of the airport and the Nurly Zhol railway station, and in Almaty, the EZS has been installed in the central part of the city^[22].

According to the Association of Kazakhstan Auto Business, the new EZS meet the world standards IEC 62 196 − 2 and IEC 61 851 − 1 and are capable of charging an electric car in a time of 1 to 4 hours. Four electric vehicles can be charged simultaneously on one ESV. The power of each installed ESV is 51 kW.

As of September 2017, there are more than 200 electric vehicles in Kazakhstan. And if now they are used to move only around the city, then the development of the EZS network will allow travel outside it.
