Kyrgyzstan wants to replace gasoline and diesel cars with electric vehicles Regular Jafarov said in a meeting with the residents of Tash-Komir and Kara-Kol that the construction of an electric vehicle assembly plant in Bishkek is nearing completion, the launch is expected at the end of this year or in March-April next year.

The planning capacity is about 10 thousand units per year; They produced from passenger cars to large vehicles. In the next step, a state program will be launched to gradually replace old gasoline and diesel cars with electric vehicles. The government fleet will be the first to go electric; The full replacement cycle is estimated at 15-20 years.

But it requires a strong infrastructure. The charging network should be located throughout the country, like gas stations today. Currently there are only about 200 electric chargers.

The transition to electric drive is not just a fashion trend, it is necessary. Bishkek, and not only, suffocated. And if we want our children to grow up in a city with clean air, there is no choice. 15-20 years to completely replace the vehicle fleet is a long time, but the main thing is that the ice is broken.
