In the near future, we plan to install 10 more fast electric charging stations with a capacity of 150 kW each, which will allow charging more than 330 cars daily. EZSs have all available connectors for electric vehicles. The electric car on them can be charged to the 80% in just 20 minutes. This is fast, convenient and comfortable for drivers who have chosen a personal green electric transport for themselves. The number of autocars in the Lipetsk region, as well as in Russia as a whole, is growing, so we will develop the charging infrastructure of the region - by the end of 2024 the number of ESS in the region will exceed 20 stations,}}

{{quote 'author = noted Igor Artamonov, Governor of Lipetsk Region. | Lipetsk region can be called the flagship of the development of ecological transport. We have a factory for the production of electric cars of the brand. Evolute A network of charging stations is developing - EZS is not only in cities, but also in municipalities.
