Iran Needs to Develop Infrastructure Vital for Electric Vehicle Production

An automotive expert believes that while effective measures have been taken for launching electric vehicle production, key infrastructure, such as EV charging stations, should be developed.
Salman Ebrahimi-Nejad Rafsanjani, who is also a faculty member of the Iran University of Science and Technology, explained the latest state of electric vehicle production in Iran and the infrastructure needed to supply EVs to the domestic market, Khabar Khodro reported.
"Fortunately, effective measures have been taken in the field of EV production. Some are currently in the research and development stage, while a large number of these cars have been prototyped and are undergoing trials,” he said.
Ebrahimi-Nejad noted that in addition to a network of EV chargers, plug-in cars should be enabled to use home electricity, because it may not be possible for a large number of EVs to easily access charging stations.
