Despite its confident market position, the company faced financial difficulties: in 2023, its revenue decreased by 87.3%. The company's statements indicate that the decrease in revenues is due to the postponement of a large contract from 2023 to 2024, as well as the need to adapt to the growth of the number of Chinese electric vehicles, which require the use of charging standards (Gb/T), previously not common in Russia.

According to Kommersant, Alexei Lebedev is also the owner of R-Alliance, a company supplying parts for TMX, and has shares in a number of other enterprises associated with TMX top managers. However, according to sources familiar with the situation, TMH is not directly related to the acquisition of Jupiter.

Dmitry Babansky from SBS Consulting Strategic Business Solutions (SBS Consulting), in a conversation with the publication, noted that by August 2024, the production of electric charging stations is actually still a new industry, so more than a dozen manufacturers work on the market.^[1]

2022: Receiving a grant of 30 million rubles for the creation of ultra-fast charging of electric vehicles

In August 2022, the Russian company Yablochkov won a grant of 30 million rubles to create ultra-fast charging of electric vehicles. Funds within the framework of the Development-NTI competition were provided by the Innovation Assistance Fund.

The first complex for fast charging of electric vehicles is planned to be installed in St. Petersburg in 2024. It will allow direct current charging of up to six electric vehicles at a time. The charge time of an electric car is 10 minutes. The hub consists of a power module with AC/DC converters and free-standing posts for connecting electric vehicles.

A control system is located inside the power module, which will allow dynamic power distribution between stations, a cooling and heating system for equipment. In addition, the complex can be equipped with an electricity storage, which will allow you to quickly charge electric vehicles in hard-to-reach places where it is impossible to connect to a higher power network.

The charging hub will come with the embedded software of Yablochki's own development, which will allow analyzing data and conducting remote diagnostics of the station.

First of all, this solution is interesting for network companies, operators of networks of charging stations, large retail players, hypermarkets with their own parking areas or free territories. The installation of multi-bridge charging complexes will allow them to optimally use the built-up areas, simplify the collection of data on charging sessions and reduce service costs.

By August 2022, Yablochkov had installed 148 charging stations with a capacity of 120 to 500 kW. During the entire operation of the stations, 5 GVt·ch of electricity were shipped, more than 1.5 million charging sessions were produced. More than 3000 charging sessions are processed daily in automatic mode of the company's system (data as of August 2022).^[2]
