Moscow plans to install an additional 550 electric vehicle charging stations (EVCS), according to the city’s mayor. The city government has signed 11 long-term contracts for the installation and maintenance of fast EVCS.

“The Moscow Government will handle the preparation of ready-made points for EVCS placement on street and gated city parking lots in various parts of the city. Operators will be responsible for the installation, operation, and maintenance of the EVCS for seven years, adhering to strict requirements and standards,” the mayor wrote in a messenger app.

It was noted that electric transport is actively expanding its presence in Moscow. Since 2015, the number of electric vehicles has increased 150-fold, reaching 40.4 thousand units. Experts believe that by 2030, the fleet of such vehicles could grow eightfold, reaching 320 thousand. Furthermore, the Mosgortrans fleet includes nearly 3 thousand electric buses. According to the mayor, Moscow ranks first among European cities in the number of electric buses.

In September, it was reported that over 7 thousand electric vehicle charging stations are operational in Moscow. Of these, more than 350 have been installed on the street and road network under the “Energy of Moscow” program by the city’s transport department. The remaining charging stations are located in residential complex parking lots, shopping and business centers, and other restricted access areas.

Moscow

Moscow is the capital and largest city of Russia, founded in 1147. Historically the political and economic heart of the nation, it is famed for landmarks like the Kremlin, a historic fortress and the seat of power, and Red Square, which has been a central public space for centuries. The city’s architecture reflects its long history, from medieval churches like St. Basil’s Cathedral to Soviet-era monuments and modern skyscrapers.

Mosgortrans

“Mosgortrans” is the common name for the Moscow Municipal Passenger Transport Company, the primary operator of public ground transportation in Moscow, Russia. Founded in 1958, it unified various tram, trolleybus, and bus services under a single management system to serve the growing capital. Today, it remains a vital part of the city’s infrastructure, managing a vast network of buses, trolleybuses, and trams that millions of Muscovites rely on daily.

Energy of Moscow

“Energy of Moscow” is not a widely recognized historical or cultural site in the Russian capital. It is most commonly the name of a major business center (skyscraper) within the Moscow International Business Center (MIBC), also known as Moscow-City, which was constructed in the early 21st century as a symbol of modern, post-Soviet economic power. Therefore, it lacks a deep historical narrative but represents the contemporary architectural and commercial energy of the city.
