Recently, charging stations have started to open more and more in Russia, and they appear in various excellent forms. First it was the largest in the city, then it was the largest in the country, and now here, the country is unified. According to media reports, in St. Petersburg Open It is a multifunctional charging “centre” that has become the largest in the entire Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), which includes about half of the countries of the former Soviet Union.

The size of the new charging center, called “Pravoberezhny”, is measured by its maximum daily throughput: of course, under ideal conditions, up to 1,100 electric vehicles can be charged per day. In addition to charging stations, the center also has a relaxation area for drivers and their families.
What is the point of such a large hub within the city is not an idle question. The essence and convenience of electric cars lies precisely in the fact that their charging infrastructure should be within walking distance – for this, in Moscow, for example, they began to implement the idea of placing charging stations directly in the courtyards of residential areas. As for charging stations, it is only reasonable to set up charging stations on large highways. Even so, with the current distribution level of electric vehicles in Russia, charging stations at ordinary gas stations are still sufficient.
