Starting Jan. 1, new and rebuilt garages and parking lots must have electric chargers at 5% of parking spaces. In a further step, the government is mulling a plan to make mandatory the installation of electric chargers at all new and rebuilt gas stations, according to a Facebook post by Lev Partshaladze, deputy minister of Regional Development, Construction and Housing and Communal Services. During the first half of this year, sales of electric vehicles, overwhelmingly cars, increased by 58% y-o-y, to 3,185.
