57 new charging stations for electric cars will be installed across Lithuania by the end of this year as the country is expanding infrastructure for such vehicles, informs LETA/BNS.
1.5 mln euros will be allocated for the project from EU support, and
another 15% will be spent by municipalities.
Transport Minister Rokas Masiulis says the move will be aimed at
promoting the use of non-polluting cars.
New charging stations will be installed in Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipeda,
Alytus, Birstonas, Jonava, Kedainiai, Marijampole, Mazeikiai, Neringa, Palanga,
Panevezys, Taurage, Telsiai, Utena and Visaginas.
12 public high-power charging stations were installed in Lithuania alongside the Vilnius-Klaipeda highway in 2014-2017, and one station was installed near the Vilnius-Panevezys highway. Another 14 stations are set to be installed near the trans-European road network by the end of this year.
