The Ministry of Industry and Commerce does not intend to switch the demand support program for combustion engine cars to electric vehicles. Denis Manturov, the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, said that the main categories of cars currently included in the state program will be preserved.
Earlier there was information that the program would be refocused to support electric vehicle buyers, but Manturov noted that “this is not true”. At the same time, he did not exclude that the parameters for the cost price or the discount granted could be adjusted.

Under the terms of the program, preferential loans are provided for the purchase of all UAZ, Lada and GAZ models worth up to 2 million rubles, released in 2022. The discount on the price of the vehicle is 20% (for the regions of the Far Eastern Federal District = 25%). An increased discount of 35% of the cost, but not more than 625 thousand rubles, is valid for Evolute electric vehicles. Cars produced by the Moskvich plant are not yet included in the program.
