Prime Minister Aleksandr Turchin has signed a Council of Ministers resolution to expand electric vehicle charging infrastructure across Belarus. The decision formalises government support for network growth, though specific deployment targets and timelines were not disclosed in the announcement.
Why it matters: The ministerial resolution signals state backing for charging rollout in Belarus, potentially opening procurement opportunities for equipment suppliers and network operators in an emerging Eastern European market.
The Council of Ministers of Belarus has updated its electric vehicle charging infrastructure programme, appointing state telecoms firm Beltelecom as a second operator alongside incumbent Belorusneft. The resolution revises installation schedules through 2028 for Belorusneft, adds slow chargers for 2026 to 2030, and plans super fast charging complexes for 2029 to 2030. The changes follow a new decree on electric vehicle incentives.
Why it matters: A second state operator signals expanded procurement pipelines and potential diversification of technology or site types in Belarus. The extended timeline to 2030, including super fast hubs, points to sustained public capital allocation and possible tenders for equipment or construction partners.
