Mishustin pointed to the growth of domestic production of electric vehicles in Russia

Internally, the production of electric vehicles in Russia is growing. This was announced on January 22 by Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin during a government meeting.

"The segment of electric vehicles is currently expanding in the automotive industry. Not only are supplies coming from abroad, but our domestic production is also increasing, which is very important," Mishustin said.

He also noted that the government will create special mechanisms to support electric transport, which will allow funds to be allocated for the construction of charging hubs.
