Moscow has installed the first high-power 150 kW fast charging stations as part of the Energy of Moscow project. Charging an electric vehicle at these stations takes an average of 30 minutes.
According to Moscow’s Deputy Mayor for Transport and Industry, Maksim Liksutov, there are almost 250 charging stations operating in the capital as part of the Energy of Moscow project. The two new 150 kW stations are located at: Denezhny Pereulok, 8-10 and Vozdvizhenka Street, 10.
We have installed the first 150 kW charging stations, with a charging time of around 30 minutes. By 2030, the number of charging stations in Moscow will increase to 30,000. We will also install hubs for taxis and carsharing with the ability to charge 10-15 cars simultaneously. We thank all our operators for their work, which allows us to develop the charging station network in the city. We strive to make the capital one of the world’s leaders in the use of electric transport. This task was set by Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin”, says Maksim Liksutov.
The new stations feature the ability to charge 2 cars simultaneously and have GB/T and CCS Combo 2 connectors for the most popular electric vehicle models. The Moscow Transport app can be used to find an available station, plan a route to the charging station, and book a charging session.
As part of the Energy of Moscow project, approximately 250 free electric vehicle charging stations (EVCS) have been installed in the capital. Electric vehicle owners are exempt from paying transportation tax and can park for free throughout the city.
Since the launch of the first Energy of Moscow charging station in March 2021, electric vehicle owners have completed more than 640,000 charging sessions. All stations are located in places where citizens spend most of their time, such as near shopping and business centers, parks, residential buildings, cafes, and stores.
According to plans, by 2030, there will be 30,000 EVCS in the capital, and the number of electric vehicles in Moscow will increase to 320,000—7% of the total number of cars. Additionally, hubs will be installed for taxis and carsharing, with the ability to charge 10–15 cars simultaneously.
