Electric Vehicle Charging Network Set for Expansion Across Russia
The rollout will build on technologies and operational practices already developed in Moscow.
The Moscow city government and Russia's Ministry of Transport have signed an agreement aimed at expanding electric vehicle charging infrastructure across the country's regions. A key element of the partnership is granting regional charging network operators access to Energiya Moskvy (Moscow Energy), the IT platform used to manage Moscow's charging ecosystem. The move is intended to replicate successful practices developed in the capital and create a unified technological environment for the growth of EV infrastructure nationwide.
Industry experts say the expansion of charging networks is one of the government's key transportation digitalization initiatives. They argue that broader deployment of charging infrastructure can strengthen regional economies and improve urban living environments. The agreement is expected to accelerate the adoption of low-emission transportation, increase the sector's investment appeal, and create new business opportunities through projects that include public-private partnerships and concession agreements.
