The Better Regulation Delivery Office (BRDO) proposes to establish 10% quota for parking lots with electric charging devices at the legislative level.

Developers emphasize that the development of infrastructure requires creating transparent conditions to connect to electricity networks, defining the product in the market at the legislative level, determining the status of charging units and electric charging stations and so on.

A study conducted by BRDO experts revealed additional barriers to the development of electric cars that can not be eliminated at the level of secondary laws.

In particular, with the purpose of systematizing the market of electric charging stations and integrating it with the electricity market, the Concept for development of the market of electric charging stations was developed.

“Today, one in every hundred cars sold in the world is an electric car, and it will be every second car in 2040. In Ukraine, a percentage of electric cars is much smaller – this is about 4 thousand cars serviced by 1.5 thousand ECS. The ECS infrastructure is not developed, so domestic consumers prefer traditional modes of transportation,” the Energy Sector Head at BRDO Oleksiy Orzhel said.

In particular, among other aspects, the Concept for development of the market of electric charging stations provides for equipping every 10th parking lot in large vehicle parking areas with electric charging stations.

Thus, by using a single app, any driver will be able to automatically find an ECS, track free parking lots with electric charging units and get information on prices for ECS-related services.
