Charging stations as the key to a green future: Ways to increase the efficiency of electric transport in Russia

In recent years, the world has witnessed the rapid growth of electric mobility, a key element of which is the proliferation of charging stations.

Analysis of the electric vehicle market by GidMarket, shows that in Russia the penetration level of electric cars is still low, but sales of electric vehicles are growing at a record pace for the Russian market. Thus, according to Autostat and PPK JSC, for the entire 2022, Russians purchased almost 3 thousand new passenger cars powered by electricity. Between January and August 2023, 6.99 thousand new electric cars were sold, which is 4.4 times more than during the same period last year. Sales of used electric vehicles also showed an increase - by 19%, to 6.9 thousand units.

In 2023, 28 new regions joined the pilot project to create charging infrastructure for electric vehicles , which was confirmed by the order of the Chairman of the Government Mikhail Mishustin. Among the new participants are Bashkiria, Perm Territory, Volgograd, Kostroma, Ryazan, Chelyabinsk and Yaroslavl regions. In total, 40 Russian regions will take part in the experiment next year.

Today, the charging infrastructure in Russia is in its infancy. On the one hand, this opens up wide opportunities for investment and development, on the other hand, it puts forward serious requirements for planning and regulation.

The main obstacles are climatic conditions, the length of the territory and the insufficient development of electrical networks in remote regions.

To overcome these obstacles, an integrated approach is required, including the following aspects:

  1. Development of modular and mobile charging stations—this will allow the rapid expansion of the charging network in accordance with the growing demand and availability of power grids.
  2. Use of alternative energy sources - solar panels or wind generators can provide electricity for charging stations, especially in remote and sparsely populated areas.
  3. Government incentives and subsidies - to stimulate private investment in the development of charging infrastructure, government support is required in the form of tax incentives and financial support.
  4. Integration of charging stations with city infrastructure
  5. Integration of charging stations with city infrastructure - it is important to include the planning of charging stations in city-wide development, ensuring the accessibility of important social and retail points.
  6. Educational programs - raising public awareness and training specialists to work with new technologies is important for creating sustainable demand for electric vehicles and maintaining infrastructure.

The development of charging infrastructure in Russia opens up new prospects for the automotive industry, energy and ecology. Increasing the number of electric vehicles will reduce dependence on fossil fuels, reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other pollutants, which will have a positive impact on air quality and public health.
