“We can’t make our own combustion engines, but we don’t have to. Because in 20 years’ time the main consumers will be the guys waiting for electric cars – they also got ‘sold’ the story that we will soon be driving electric cars,” said Pablo Iturralde, director of the Moscow Poly’s Advanced Engineering School.
In addition, according to an expert who participated in the online conference of the AvtoVzglyad portal, Russia, unlike many other countries in the world, can afford to switch everyone to “green” transport due to the abundance and availability of electricity. . Europe, for example, obsessed with environmental friendliness and actively promoting “clean” technologies for decades, can only dream of this.
In addition, as Mr Iturralde pointed out, electric motors are easier to manufacture. As an example, he mentioned the Avtotor plant in Kaliningrad, which decided to focus on electric trains. The company did not even consider the possibility of creating and producing its own internal combustion engine – too difficult compared to electric motors. Or you remember the Rosatom company, which promised to open a battery production facility by 2024. One way or another, electric cars are getting more and more attention.
But, despite the zeal of the authorities and the interest of manufacturers, the story of electric transport in Russia still looks rather dubious. Electric cars cannot be charged outside the megacities – infrastructure only develops in megacities. And how will they be exploited by inhabitants of the northern regions? Not all nationals of our great country can boast of a climate suitable for “green” cars. What about the disposal of extremely dangerous batteries? In general, there are many nuances.
