In Ukraine, the Government adopted the order "On the creation of a network of high-speed car electric charging stations by the state enterprise "National Atomic Energy Generating Company Energoatom", which was developed by the Ministry of Energy.
It is planned to create a network of 120 charging stations, namely 40 of high capacity (160+kW) and 80 of medium capacity (60+kW), in regional centers and on the main highways of the country, the Ministry of Energy reports on Facebook.
The network is planned to be created within two years.
Energy Minister Herman Galushchenko noted that Energoatom has significant reserve capacity for the safe production of cheap and clean electricity. And due to russia's military aggression and the crisis it provoked in the fuel market, there is a rapid increase in demand for electric vehicles.
"In Ukraine today, together with hybrids, the number of electrified cars is more than 100 thousand. The creation of a national infrastructure of charging stations will be an impetus not only for the spread of private electric transport, but also for the development of new services using electric cars, for example, in the field of delivery and logistics," he said.
Galushchenko also added that the development of electric transport and related infrastructure will help reduce Ukraine's dependence on fossil fuels, reduce the level of harmful emissions into the atmosphere and contribute to the improvement of the overall environmental situation.
The article noted that according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), sales of electric vehicles in 2021 reached 6.6 million.
"By 2030, every second car sold in the United States, the European Union and China could be electric," said IEA Chairman Fatih Birol.
Earlier, EcoPolitic wrote, that in Germany, managers of companies in the field of electric transport warn that the rapid increase in prices for electricity threatens the future of electric cars.
As EcoPolitic previously reported, the state of California, USA, proposed a bill designed to abolish the mandatory creation of parking zones in the state, which will contribute to the fight against climate change.
