Infrastructure Development and New Projects
In response to the growing popularity of electric vehicles, there has been an active expansion of infrastructure to support them. The fuel company “Ukrnafta” has begun a large-scale collaboration with the Toka Energy charging station network. The first joint charging station has already opened at a gas station in Khmelnytskyi, and the launch of new stations in various regions of Ukraine is planned in the near future.
