Nizhny Novgorod has entered the ranking for the number of publicly accessible electric vehicle charging stations. The study was prepared by analysts from 2GIS.

      Maps display the stations, type of connector, cost, and the status of terminals in real-time — whether they are free or occupied. This information has become the basis for the dynamics of infrastructure development over the year.

      Moscow leads in absolute numbers of stations as expected. In June 2026, there are more than 1,100 electric charging stations operating in the capital — this is 37.5% more than a year earlier. St. Petersburg has nearly 400 charging stations, with a growth of 22.5% over the year.

      Nizhny Novgorod is in seventh place in the ranking with 112 publicly accessible electric charging stations. This is 3% more than in June 2025.

      Additionally, analysts compiled a top-10 list of cities based on the cost of charging an electric vehicle. Here, Nizhny Novgorod took second place in terms of expense — the average price for charging per 100 kilometers reached 342 rubles. Over the past year, the cost has increased by 6% — from 18 to 19 rubles per kWh.

      Krasnodar topped the ranking with 360 rubles for charging per 100 kilometers and a growth of 11%, while St. Petersburg is in third place with 324 rubles and 0%. It is noted that for calculating the cost of charging per 100 kilometers, specialists used the widely available model in the country, the Nissan Leaf (ZE1, 218 hp, 62 kWh battery), which consumes an average of 18 kWh for this distance.
