Earlier, at one of the meetings of the EEC Council, the issue of extending the zero customs duty on imports of electric cars to the EAEU countries was raised. As a result, it was decided to prolong this measure for another two years.
"At the same time, we decided to show our colleagues from the EAEU countries the opportunities that are currently developing in the electric car production sector in the Russian Federation. We believe that in the very soon we will be able to meet the demand for electric cars through our own production", — said Alexei Overchuk, Deputy Prime Minister and Chairman of the EEC Council.
