Rosneft and RusHydro will continue to develop charging infrastructure for electric vehicles at gas stations
As part of the 9th Eastern Economic Forum, Rosneft and RusHydro signed a Letter of Intent on cooperation for the development of charging infrastructure for electric vehicles.
The agreement proposes installation of charging stations for electric vehicles at Rosneft's gas stations in Russian regions, as well as cooperation for construction of gas stations and charging complexes as part of multifunctional road service zones on toll roads. All electric modules will comply with the current standards and will support the fast charging function.
Rosneft's retail network currently operates 80 electric charging stations at its gas stations in 12 regions of Russia stretching from St. Petersburg to the Zabaikalsky Territory. Most of the stations support the fast charging function - they can charge the battery of an electric vehicle up to 80% in just 20 minutes.
The agreement with RusHydro was signed as a follow-up to the commitments that the parties made in 2021.
The brand of Rosneft filling stations is one of the leaders in terms of recognition and quality of the fuel nationwide. The geography of Rosneft's retail business covers 61 regions of Russia. The network of the Company's filling stations includes almost 3,000 sites.
Expanding the range of customer services is one of the key areas of Rosneft's retail business. Infrastructure development will allow drivers to charge electric vehicles at the widespread network of Rosneft gas stations across Russia. The Company will continue to expand the geography of charging stations in line with demand forecasts and the development of the electric vehicles market.
