The Moscow government distributed a presentation under the modest title “Electric Vehicle Components”. It contains a detailed schematic of a simple device with a precise designation of the manufacturers of parts. Realizing the need for such a “Moskvich”, the Moscow government boldly and enthusiastically drew a future product, poking its nose into the details. It turns out we have everything we need.

The country is overflowing with factories and firms that produce an extensive list of necessary parts. In a tangible excess, as many positions represent several competing firms. The companies, hiding for a while, suddenly indicated their intention to give the motherland an electric car and showed their willingness.

Nine companies are ready to produce shock absorbers for the future car. Who would have thought of such abundance? The front wheel hub is torn from the hands of five companies and four factories compete for the tender for the knuckle. Five companies stalk each other to get an order for chairs. Twelve companies have designated the option of making the front suspension. And even for the gearbox there are two contenders, in particular the company KATE, which is frightening with a price tag, made an automatic gearbox for the Aurus car for 4 million rubles, surpassing the comparable unit of the German ZF by an order of magnitude. The Germans have the same box costing a little more than 300,000 rubles. And don’t believe it when they tell you about the global airbag monopoly – that Japanese Takata. They are also made in Samara and are about to be put on the electric Moskvich.

All the electric vehicles that exist in Russia are certainly made on the basis of Siemens. But the government’s import substitution program has proved so effective that four Moscow companies are poised to invent a German power converter. Although the presentation about them is said less victorious: a potential developer/manufacturer. And the list of potential is opened by a company that does not even have its own design bureau, but has already started to build it, that is, it hastily hammers on piles and lays bricks. They are listed with their unfinished design bureau in the column of electric motor manufacturers. To which two more companies, comparable potential and quite virtual, want to join.

What about batteries? Here, as with Kurchatov, who asked Sudoplatov to steal uranium enrichment technologies abroad. A handwritten letter from Kurchatov has been preserved, in which he thanked the intelligence service for stealing the drawings of the centrifuge (its production was entrusted to the Gorky Automobile Plant). There are no batteries yet. And it’s not very clear who to call for help. But there are three companies, as in the case of the electric motor, that proudly bear the status of ‘potential developer’. Loser Vovochka was known as a potential outstanding student throughout the school?

And who created the design of the capital’s future electric car? Where did you manage to so quickly not only draw three presentation slides, but also create a new platform, build and test prototypes, identify technologies and quickly reach the final, showing images with a typewriter and a grandiose list of suppliers? Nobody developed. There is no car. And there is no one to create it. And nowhere. Despite a very real business and a tangible CEO.

Each car factory is built for a specific model and technology. It does not happen that they first set up workshops and then look for a production order. And the design of the future car is ready just in time for the first peg. In Moscow it is the other way around. The plant is there, the rest is not. And no design agency is making an electric car in an emergency that the mayor of the capital has promised before the end of the year.

By the way, it takes five years to make a new car model from scratch and costs five billion dollars. It is unlikely that the underground workers of the Renault factory created the electric future of the car industry on mysterious nights, starting secret work in 2017, and with the money saved from lunches in the work canteen.

The Yale Chief Executive Leadership Institute, which has looked closely at the current state of the Russian economy, believes that “despite the illusions of self-sufficiency and import substitution, domestic production in Russia has completely stopped, unable to recover the lost enterprises, products and personnel; the destruction of the domestic innovation and manufacturing base led to sharp price increases and consumer fear. As a result of the slump in business activity, Russia has lost companies accounting for about 40% of its GDP, leading to the reversal of almost all foreign investment in three decades and the simultaneous flight of capital and population, with a massive exodus of Russia’s economic base.

But this was not mentioned in the presentation, but only pointed to a plethora of factories ready to produce parts exclusively for an electric car. In Russia, the entire industry stopped, without components. But for some reason, the presence of the companies mentioned in the slides has not revived any of the companies. Or are the listed factories painted just like the electric car itself?
