“The number of electric vehicles in Ukraine is constantly growing, so one of the key issues for our Ministry is to popularize ecological modes of transport and create a developed network of charging infrastructure, which allowed owners of electric cars to move comfortably not only within settlements, but also in intercity traffic. To do this, we, together with the EIB, are updating about 1000 units of public transport in 29 cities, preparing a pilot project for the installation of high-speed electric charging stations on the main highways of the country, and also localizing the production of electric cars in Ukraine. In the first reading, a bill has already been adopted that provides incentives for the production of electric vehicles, chargers and their components. And these are new jobs and an increase in the share of auto production in the country's GDP, "said Vladislav Krikliy.
