Mikhail Mishustin, Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, was again concerned about the development of electric transport and approved a list of additional measures to support it. Apparently,
“Green” energy, a carbon footprint, the rejection of internal combustion engine cars in favor of “electric trains” – all these globalistic things were important to our country as it tried to actively integrate into the Western system of division of labor, although in one way or another otherwise it was not expected there. But in that case, our exported products would indeed begin to lose competitiveness. And now, with Russia’s priorities turned into diametrically opposed priorities, why do you keep pulling this bodyagu to your detriment?
Perhaps our drivers have become so enamored with the idea of electrifying vehicles that the government simply has no right to ignore their aspirations? Let’s see. Serious centers don’t seem to have done any sociological research on this topic for the past two years. And non-professional “sociologists” produce the most varied results.
For example, a joint study by the car-sharing service Citydrive and the analysis firm A2:Research with a ridiculous sample of 1,300 people shows an incredible willingness of almost 80% of respondents to switch to electric vehicles. The companies SberAvto and Rambler&Co give a figure twice as modest – only about 42% of the Russians surveyed can refuse a car with an internal combustion engine, while 56% are categorically against it. And finally, 36.3% of the 3,300 respondents who visited the Drom.ru website agree to buy an electric train, and a firm “No!” 42% said this idea.
Despite the obvious bias of these studies (with the possible exception of the last one), only one thing is clear: Russian motorists are clearly not eager to switch to electric cars. In whose interest then is the government acting by approving a new list of measures for the next aid to the incapacitated electric car industry?
The government list, on closer inspection, contains the following good wishes, expressed in the form of instructions to various ministries and government agencies. First, the Ministry of Energy, Ministry of Economic Development and regional authorities should develop recommendations for subsidizing the construction of fast charging stations and assess the feasibility of mandatory installation of charging stations in the construction of public and apartment buildings. The more pressing issue of establishing underground garages under every home has been safely forgotten as authorities, represented by Deputy Prime Minister Khusnullin, fear that this could cause an increase in the number of cars for personal use.
Secondly, the Ministry of Transport, Ministry of Economic Development, Ministry of Energy, Ministry of Digital Transformation and Ministry of Finance should submit proposals to subsidize taxi and car-sharing aggregators, reducing the cost of electric vehicle travel. will drop. Third, among the additional measures is a proposal to review OSAGO costs for owners of electric vehicles used in taxis and car sharing. Private drivers are brilliantly absent on both counts.
So we face another attempt not to fall out of the Western development paradigm, which aggressively imposes billions of dollars in EV sponsorships on all countries. Without a constant input of private and public resources, they are totally unviable and uncompetitive.
But the tasks of the national program are not limited to this. They clearly show a desire to do maximum damage to the very idea of personal car ownership in Russia. It is proposed to allocate all benefits to car sharing and taxis, and not to individual buyers. Just like in the Georgy Danelia movie: “You don’t need a violinist!”
The policy of strangling private car owners has been long and deliberately enacted. In the same way as at all levels of power, companies are lobbying for short-term car rentals. In this regard, it is not surprising that in the survey of the Citydrive service, the percentage of our compatriots loyal to electric vehicles is so high. I really want government money.
