In response to fuel shortages caused by refinery strikes and Ukrainian attacks, Russians have significantly increased their purchases of electric vehicles (EVs). However, the charging infrastructure is inadequate, with only 8.4 thousand charging points compared to 12 million in China. Low temperatures, long highways, and high-rise buildings further hinder EV adoption. Despite these challenges, Russia's vast gas reserves could facilitate the use of compressed and liquefied natural gas vehicles.
