Comment
From Mikhail Mishustin's opening remarks at the Government meeting, January 22, 2026
Thanks to the subsidy, the investor will receive a preferential loan rate of 8% per annum. The loan will be issued for a term of up to five years. The funds can be used, among other things, to purchase or lease the appropriate land, acquire the necessary equipment, as well as for the delivery, installation, and connection of the charging hub to the power grid.
The charging hub will include at least 10 charging stations with power balancing, allowing electric vehicles to be serviced simultaneously. Charging stations using direct current (fast chargers) can charge an electric vehicle's battery to 80% capacity in 20-30 minutes. The hub can be located within residential areas or on highways. In this case, the charging hub must be located on the same plot of land (or adjacent to it) as a permanent food service outlet and restroom.
Commenting on the decision takenGovernment meeting on January 22Mikhail Mishustin noted that 150 million rubles will be allocated from the federal budget in 2026 to subsidize preferential loans.
"Only those investors who use equipment and software exclusively of Russian origin will be eligible for preferential financing," the Prime Minister clarified.
The head of the cabinet emphasized that this new support instrument will create significant added value in the economy and facilitate technological development.
The work is being carried out within the framework of the federal project "Production of Innovative Transport", which is part of the national project "Industrial Support of Transport Mobility".
