Raeisi visits homegrown EVs
Iranian President Ebrahim Raeisi visited a number of hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and full electric vehicles (FEVs) produced by domestic automobile companies on Wednesday.
On the sidelines of a cabinet meeting, the president visited a number of FEVs and HEVs produced and assembled by domestic automakers as he was briefed about the production and commercialization process of the EVs, IRNA reported.
Considering the environmental problems and pollution of combustion vehicles, as well as the country’s capacity in the field of electrical infrastructure, a change in the automobile production and increasing the EV production is on the government’s agenda.
Based on the agreements made between the Ministry of Industry and the relevant bodies, including the Tehran Municipality, the installation of charging stations for EVs has started in Tehran, where at least 70 stations will be inaugurated by next month.
By the end of the current Iranian year (March 19, 2024), in addition to expanding the infrastructure for the use of EVs in Tehran, charging stations will be installed on highways between Tehran and neighboring provinces as well as some other high-traffic provinces such as the northeastern province of Khorasan Razavi.
