Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin increased from 30% to 60% the share of state subsidies in the construction of charging stations for electric vehicles
Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed a decree to increase the share of state subsidies in the construction of charging stations for electric vehicles from 30% to 60%. The corresponding document was published on the official website of the government on July 2, 2024.
Changes were made to the appendix state to the Development program. power engineering specialists According to the new rules, the size of the subsidy for the technological connection of charging stations to power grids can now reach 60% of the total costs of implementing this stage of the project, but no more than 900 thousand. rubles Previously, this figure was 30% at the same maximum threshold.
As noted in the explanatory note to the document, this decision is aimed at additional stimulation of investors involved in the construction of charging infrastructure, since technological connection to power grids is one of the most costly stages of such projects.
The creation of infrastructure for electric vehicles is provided for by the road map approved by the government to develop the production and use of electric road transport. According to this document, by 2030 the share of electric vehicles produced in the total production of vehicles should reach 10%. In addition, it is planned to launch at least 72 thousand charging stations throughout the country.
A pilot project to create a charging infrastructure for electric vehicles was launched in Russia in 2022. In 2024, 65 regions of the country take part in it. According to the Deputy Minister of Economic Development Maxim Kolesnikov, this year it is planned to commission 1,437 fast (with a capacity of 50 or more kilowatts) and 3,206 slow (up to 50 kW) electric charging stations.

The Russian government 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the European CCS2 standard and the Chinese GB/T will become mandatory, and the government decided to abandon the outdated Japanese CHAdeMO connector.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. |  |
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.
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.
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.
The Chelyabinsk region is participating in a pilot project of the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation, within the framework of 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]
2023
Increase in the number of Lukoil electric charging stations by 1.7 times to 160 units
At the end of 2023, the number of electric charging stations (EZS) of Lukoil reached 160. For comparison, a year earlier, the company's network numbered 95 such points, and in 2021 - 34. Thus, on an annualized basis, the number of EZS increased by 1.7 times, or 65 points. This is stated in the materials of Lukoil, published at the end of July 2024. Read more here.
Russians' spending on charging electric vehicles doubled over the year
In 2023, the volume of consumption of charging station services per capita in Russia amounted to approximately 6.45 rubles. This is almost twice as much as compared to 2022, when the costs were 3.3 rubles per person. Such indicators are given in the review of the GuideMarket company, published on June 18, 2024.
As the number of electric vehicles on the Russian market popularizes and increases, the accompanying charging infrastructure is expanding. At the same time, the volume of consumption of charging station services per capita is also growing. According to estimates, in 2019 the corresponding expenses amounted to 0.56 rubles per person. A year later, the figure increased by 110.5%, reaching 1.19 rubles per capita. In 2021, the growth was another 84.2% with a final result of 2.18 rubles. In 2022, an increase was recorded at 51.2%.
Experts and market participants note that the visitor's perception of the charging station depends not only on successful charging, but also on many other factors. Among them are the speed of replenishing the energy reserve, stability and safety of work, ease of search and comfort of location, convenience of charging and payment software, appearance and condition of the station. User loyalty generates regular revenue for operators from each customer engaged and helps expand audiences through positive feedback.
The situation on the Russian market of charging stations for electric vehicles is ambiguous. On the one hand, taking into account the length of roads in the country and the necessary frequency of installation, such sites are not enough. But, on the other hand, if we take into account the number of electric vehicles in Russia, the development of charging infrastructure is ahead of the growth rate of sales of electric machines. In general, the issue of payback of charging stations remains open.[4]
How much does it cost to charge electric vehicles in Russia. Comparison with regular cars
The difference in the cost of charging an electric car and refueling a car with an internal combustion engine in terms of 100 km of track can vary from 1.8 to 9 times. Such a significant spread is due to driving conditions, the type of electric charging station (ESS) used and the time of day when the energy reserve is replenished. This is stated in the report of Strategy Partners (LNG JSC), published in mid-April 2024.
As a reference for calculations, the authors of the study took the Tesla Model 3 electric car with a 60- kVt·ch battery pack and Hyundai Solaris with a gasoline unit. It is noted that if a fast urban ESS is used in Moscow with a capacity of 50 kW or more, it will take a little more than an hour to fully charge the Tesla Model 3. The cost depends on the operator: in 2023 it is usually 15-20 rubles per kVt·ch. Thus, it is necessary to spend from 750 to 1200 rubles to fully replenish the energy reserve. On a single charge, the Tesla Model 3 can cover an average distance of 320 km. That is, 100 km of track on this electric car will cost 230-375 rubles.
In addition, for example, in the Russian capital there is a network of EZS "Energy of Moscow," on which you can charge for free (as of the beginning of 2024). And in the case of using a household outlet, the cost of charging for the date under consideration is 2.98 rubles per 1 kVt·ch at night and 7.85 rubles during the day. In this case, a full charge of Tesla Model 3 will cost 180-470 rubles.
At the same time, with a gasoline price of 56.16 rubles per 1 liter (AI-95 of October 1, 2023) and a fuel consumption of 7.9 liters in the city cycle, the cost of 100 km of Hyundai Solaris will be 444 rubles. Based on the fuel consumption when driving along the highway at 4.9 liters, the price per 100 km of track will be at around 275 rubles.[5]
Which federal districts of Russia have the most charging stations for electric vehicles. Card
The electric vehicle market in Russia is showing rapid development, despite the lag behind world leaders - China, Europe and the United States. From 2015 to 2023, the total average annual growth rate was 134.8%. At the same time, the infrastructure of charging stations is rapidly expanding, as stated in a study by Strategy Partners (LNG JSC), the results of which were published in mid-April 2024.
At the end of 2022, there were approximately 7.5 thousand public and private electric charging stations (EZS) in the Russian Federation, including about 1.2 thousand installations with support for fast charging. At the same time, 2405 public EZS operated. By December 2023, the number of public stations increased to 3,783 units. Thus, one public EZS in Russia accounted for 10.5 electric cars against 10.3 cars in 2022.
The study notes that rapid ESVs show higher growth dynamics compared to slow installations. So, in 2023, the number of fast ESS increased by 90% compared to the previous year, while the number of slow stations showed an increase of 42%. The commissioning of fast ESAs is subsidized by the state.
As of November 2023, approximately 26.6% of all EZS in Russia were installed on the territory of the Central Federal District. Another 16.8% falls on the Volga Federal District (Volga Federal District). The Far Eastern Federal District (Far Eastern Federal District), the Southern Federal District (Southern Federal District) and the Siberian Federal District (Siberian Federal District) show similar indicators - 13.8%, 13.6% and 13.4%, respectively. About 7.8% of the stations are located in the North-Western Federal District (NWFD), 6.6% - in the Ural Federal District (UFO). The North Caucasus Federal District (North Caucasus Federal District) showed a result of 1.3%.
Average tariffs for fast and slow ESS in general do not differ much in different regions of the Russian Federation. The most affordable prices are in the Siberian Federal District and the Far Eastern Federal District due to the lowest selling prices for electricity in Russia for enterprises, especially in the Irkutsk region. The most homogeneous tariffs for fast ESS are in the North Caucasus Federal District region, which is explained by the small number of relevant sites. When charging from a household power grid (slow ESS), the cost depends on the region, the time of day, and sometimes even on whether an electric stove is installed in the apartment: in this case, the tariffs are lower. Charging a car in Moscow in 2023 at night at the rate of an apartment building from 23:00 to 07:00 cost 2.98 rubles per kVt·ch, during the day - 7.85 rubles per kVt·ch. With a battery capacity of 77 kVt·ch (for example, Kia EV6), the car could be fully charged at the night tariff for 217.5 rubles, for the day - for 572.2 rubles. Such a supply of energy is enough to travel about 300 km in the city cycle. Thus, the price of 100 km of track on an electric car is 70-190 rubles if charging is carried out from the household network of an apartment building.
The report also said that the Russian EZS market is growing rapidly due to the expansion of the infrastructure of large network enterprises and the development of private companies. The leading players in the industry are called "," RossetiMosenergosbyt"," RusHydro"," "Energy" and Moscow Punkt E. At the same time, the competitive environment in the field of ESS remains fragmented - both in terms of operators and in the field of manufacturers of charging plants. The largest gas station networks, including Rosneft"," "" and LukoilGazprom neft"," are actively developing the electric charging infrastructure at their facilities in cooperation with EZS operators. As of 2023, several hundred ESSs have been installed on the territories of gas station networks, most of which are fast installations.[6]
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[7]

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.[8]
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.[9] | |

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."[10]
Sitronics Electro begins development of its own charging stations for electric vehicles
Charging infrastructure operator for electric transport Sitronics Electro (part of Sitronics Group) is launching a project to develop charging stations. Sitronics announced this on August 3, 2023. Read more here.
Russian manufacturers of electric vehicles will produce charging stations for them
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.[11]
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."

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.[13]

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 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.[17]

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[18].

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.[22] | |

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.
As of the end of August 2020, the US authorities generally approved electric vehicle infrastructure development programs totaling $2.1 billion[23]

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.[24]
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.
Europe will create a large-scale network of charging stations for electric vehicles
BMW Group Group,, and Mercedes-Benz Group (formerly Daimler) Ford Motor Company , Volkswagen Group including and, Audi on Porsche November 3, 2017, announced the creation of a joint venture Ionity that will develop and build a network of high-power charging stations for electric vehicles throughout. In total, To Europe it is planned to build approximately 400 ultra-fast charging stations by 2020, which will make long-distance electric vehicle travel comfortable. More. here
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[25].
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.
