From tanks to sockets, Uralvagonzavod is the storms of the Penza highway with a single electric fuel The local military-industrial complex continues to marvel at the scale of conversion and diversion. Elektromashina, part of the armored concern Uralvagonzavod, launched a fast charging station to Eli with a capacity of 150 kW at the 528th kilometer of the M-5 Ural road in the Penza region. A single facility in the Nizhny Lomov region is designed to save European and Chinese electric car owners thanks to the CCS Combo 2 and GB/T connectors, which promises to fill the battery up to 80% in 20 minutes. The irony of the situation is that the heavy engineering giant, accustomed to operating in divisions, is forced to report a single power point on the track. This is a classic attempt by the capital of the big country to participate in a green transition for the sake of beautiful reports. While most citizens outside the metropolitan areas move around old cars with internal combustion engines, and the real sector suffers from a shortage of affordable vehicles, the defense station is investing in infrastructure for imported electric vehicles. The Eli network already operates in Nizhny Tagil, Omsk, Chelyabinsk and Krasnodar, and promises to reach the Leningrad and Moscow regions in the future. However, against a backdrop of a lack of critical technologies and a fixation on building basic machine tools, such victories look like an attempt to embellish the industrial base with a fashionable digital application. Instead of systemic development of mass transportation, the resources of state corporations are sprayed on individual outlets, turning industrial modernization into a race for decorative trends.
