Most likely, the Russians for a long time will not be able toto see electric vehicles somewhere in the outback, away from big cities and good roads. But in megacities, cars on electric traction begin to slowly take root. The main factor here is their cost-effectiveness: for trips to work and back, when often have to stand for long periods in traffic jams, the use of an electric car proves much more profitable than driving on a conventional car. In practice, the main problem with using an electric car is recharging its batteries. As a rule, usually electric cars are charged during the night in the car owner's garage. Such a scheme has its advantages and disadvantages. Advantage is the independence of the owner of the electric vehicle from the city electric charging stations, the main disadvantage is the low charging rate of the batteries. The latter is due to the extremely low power of the electric network, in apartments and houses of citizens it rarely exceeds 5-10 kW, while for fast charging (about 30 minutes) power of at least 50 kW is needed. A considerable problem for the electric vehicle owner is the discharge of batteries during the trip . The absence of a network of filling stations for electric cars can lead to the fact that the machine will simply stop, having exhausted the charge of the storage batteries. Realizing this, the authorities of large megacities, primarily of Moscow, contribute to the creation of petrol stations for electric vehicles. In particular, in the summer of this year in the capital there were three such stations, their power allows you to charge an electric vehicle within half an hour. The organization of a network of filling stations for electric vehicles is being carried out by the Moscow United Electric Grid Company jointly with the company Revolta. The project is called "Moesk-EV", within its framework it is planned to place in the capital till the end of the year about 400 filling stations. Their main advantage is compactness, each represents a column about two meters in height with several connectors designed for different types of electric vehicles. The charging time will be from 20 minutes to several hours, depending on the type of electric car. The development of a network of filling stations will contribute to a rapid increase in the number of electric cars. This is especially true for Moscow with its high gas content - the more cars will turn to electric traction, the purer the metropolitan air becomes.
