en.Wedoany.com Reported - Mongolian Prime Minister N. Uchral is accelerating a "green" resolution aimed at reducing fuel and energy dependence, having listened to suggestions from the private sector and business entities and addressed related issues.
Based on this, the Ulaanbaatar Chamber of Commerce has proposed an electric vehicle infrastructure development plan. The plan envisions building approximately 500 green charging stations in Ulaanbaatar and regional areas over the next two years, with 40 stations to be constructed before the COP-17 conference. According to the plan, Mongolia's demand for electric vehicles will reach 50,000 by 2030, reducing fuel consumption by 300 million liters over the next five years and saving approximately $200 million.
This year, electric vehicle charging stations are planned for installation at 80 locations in Ulaanbaatar and 30 locations in regional areas. Currently, 95% of electric vehicle owners charge at home. If 500 charging stations are built through private sector investment, a smart payment system will be introduced and nighttime charging will become cheaper, potentially saving owners approximately 7 million Mongolian Tögrög per year.
The Prime Minister emphasized the need to support the private sector and prepare for winter demand during the summer. He instructed the Ministry of Finance to make financing decisions with a 1% tax discount, sign contracts and commence work by June 5, while requiring the capital city and the Ministry of Roads and Transport to finalize the 80 locations as soon as possible. He also proposed establishing "green stations" along the Zamiin-Uud to Ulaanbaatar route, integrating electric vehicle charging, coffee shops, restaurants, and restroom facilities. The Prime Minister added that if the private sector implements the project, it will be supported through tax policies, and the government is willing to provide land.
Governor of the Capital City and Mayor of Ulaanbaatar B. Purevdagva stated that there are 804,000 registered vehicles in Ulaanbaatar, of which only 0.2% are electric vehicles. He noted the need to increase the share of electric vehicles, expressed the city government's willingness to cooperate with the private sector, and said it could work with the Ministry of Roads and Transport to quickly finalize the 80 locations.
Over 100 business entities have expressed interest in building battery storage systems and solar power plants at five locations, in line with the "Green Resolution to Reduce Fuel and Energy Dependence" approved by the government on April 29, 2026.
