📋 Tender Overview
The current situation in the development of the market for electric vehicles and charging infrastructure in Russia was discussed during a strategic session on electric transport led by First Deputy Prime Minister Andrey Belousov . The event was attended by heads and representatives of the largest companies in the industry as well as the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia the Ministry of Energy of Russia the Ministry of Construction of Russia and regional authorities. Rosstandart was represented at the meeting by the head of the department Anton Shalaev .The task of developing electric transport and charging infrastructure is being solved in close cooperation with relevant departments as part of the strategic initiative for socio-economic development Electric Vehicle and Hydrogen Vehicle and the Concept for the Development of Production and Use of Electric Transport in Russia until 2030.The development of electric transport is a trend in the development of the global automotive industry. Of course we should not forget about the development of conventional vehicles however the explosive growth of electric transport is obvious all over the world and in Russia. Related to this is the implementation of a strategic initiative aimed at supporting and implementing a three-stage strategy. The first stage began last year - this is the launch of a market where the main focus is on developed infrastructure. We are talking about fast charging stations as well as creating regulators that allow comfortable use of road transport primarily for the consumer and at the same time reduce risks and maintain profitability for manufacturers Andrey Belousov said. To date 24500 electric vehicles have already been registered in Russia. And if we talk about the charging infrastructure then more than 7.5 thousand chargers are already operating in Russia and 35 EZS operators are involved said Deputy Minister of Economic Development Maxim Kolesnikov . In turn Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade of Russia Albert Karimov noted that at the moment the production of domestic electric vehicles is in its infancy and has significant potential for development.The participants of the strategic session noted the need for the earliest possible formation of a fund of regulatory requirements - standards if necessary harmonized with international ones for the development of electric transport and charging infrastructure. So at present 42 standards in the field of electric transport are already in force in Russia. In addition in 2022 the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia and Rosstandart jointly approved the Prospective Standardization Program in the priority area Energy Storage Systems for the period 20222026 which provides for the development of more than a hundred standards in such key technologies for the development of SNEs as lithium-ion sodium -ion batteries and battery systems based on them as well as flow batteries supercapacitors ionistors and gravitational storage.
