Development of green charging infrastructure - Bucharest City Hall

Air pollution has become an increasingly important issue in Bucharest, due to the growth in the number of cars that use diesel or gasoline as their energy source. The high level of emissions leads to a deterioration of life quality, having negative long-term consequences on citizens health and on the environment. The increased number of electric vehicles determined the continuous decrease of their price in the last years and together with the financing measures implemented by the authorities in this field, the preference for choosing this type of vehicle has increased.
To combat the harmful effects of pollution and to improve air quality, Bucharest City Hall has implemented a program to stimulate the installation of fast charging stations for electric vehicles, by granting 500 vouchers worth 2100 Euro. Any individuals or companies that own commercial or office spaces, can set up fast charging stations for plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles in parking lots that contain spaces intended exclusively for employees, visitors and customers.
The program is addressed to legal entities or private investors who own commercial spaces, hotels or other accommodation facilities, office buildings or fuel distribution stations and who want to install charging stations for electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles in their parking spaces. This initiative is supported by the Bucharest city budget and is meant to encourage sustainable, low CO2 mobility.
