According to the plan, by 2030, authorities expect that electric vehicles and rechargeable hybrids will account for at least 25% of the country’s vehicle fleet, and CO₂ emissions from motor vehicles will be reduced by 15% compared to 2025 levels. To achieve this, the public network of charging stations must be expanded to at least 500 operational stations.
Today, Moldova’s automotive market consists mainly of used cars with gasoline and diesel engines. More than 98% of the energy used in road transport comes from imported fossil fuels. According to the program’s authors, this dependence increases the country’s energy vulnerability and negatively affects air quality, especially in cities.
The program calls for the creation of a national system for tracking and monitoring charging stations, the establishment of uniform rules for their installation and operation, and the development of infrastructure for alternative fuels along European transport corridors.
The total cost of implementing the program is estimated at 1.19 billion lei. Of this amount, approximately 3.24 million lei has already been allocated in the state budget for 2026–2028, and an additional 40.8 million lei is planned to be raised from external sources. The remaining funds do not yet have a specific source of financing. The authorities plan to raise the necessary funds in stages—through projects with development partners, international financial organizations, private investors, and public-private partnership mechanisms.
The program also provides for the gradual transition of public transportation and government vehicle fleets to electric power, as well as the development of new services in the energy, transportation, and digital technology sectors. The document is subject to government approval.
