Rosneft and RusHydro signed a Letter of Intent on cooperation for the development of charging infrastructure for electric vehicles as part of the 9th Eastern Economic Forum, .

The agreement proposes installation of charging stations for electric vehicles at Rosneft's gas stations in Russian regions, as well as cooperation for construction of gas stations and charging complexes as part of multifunctional road service zones on toll roads. All electric modules will comply with the current standards and will support the fast charging function.

Rosneft's retail network currently operates 80 electric charging stations at its gas stations in 12 regions of Russia stretching from St. Petersburg to the Zabaikalsky Territory. Most of the stations support the fast charging function - they can charge the battery of an electric vehicle up to 80% in just 20 minutes.

The agreement with RusHydro was signed as a follow-up to the commitments that the parties made in 2021.
