With the submission of Russia’s First Deputy Prime Minister Andrey Belousov, the Ministry of Economy and the state-owned company Avtodor will start an experiment on March 1 exempting owners of electric vehicles from tolls on the M1, M3, M4, M11, M12 highways, the central ring road and bypassing Odintsovo.

To take advantage of the benefits, the owner of a Tesla, Volkswagen ID6, BMW IX or other electric passenger car must buy or rent a T-pass transponder. To do this, he must contact the Avtodor-Toll Roads support office. There he must present the STS or PTS of his “electric train” – as confirmation that the vehicle is really “green”.

At the same time, it is curious that if such a transponder is then used on a car with an internal combustion engine, the money for traveling with it is still written off to the “payer”, and the T-pass itself is permanently blocked.

From March 1, the owner of an electric car can save about 2,000 rubles on a workday trip from Moscow to St. Petersburg along the M11 and slightly less on a trip from the Mother See to Rostov-on-Don along the M4. On the “Western High-​​Diameter” of St. Petersburg, on “Payers” in the small town of the Pskov region and other regional routes, the T-pass will not work and you will have to swerve on a general basis for driving an electric car on these roads, reports Kommersant.
