Unusual model Tesla electric car that you can charge it from a 220 volt outlet. This machine received a standard charger, you can also purchase 2 additional kits. They are hung on the outlet, and one side is inserted into the place of the gas tank, which is actually not there. If the power reaches 12 kW, then the charging process lasts all night. With a full charge, the range of this model can be 450 km, but when driving on the highway.
In the capital of Russia, this does not always work out, because very often you want to press the pedal harder. The car is able to “gain” 100 km / h in 4.2 s. If the speed does not exceed 70 km / h, then the power reserve can be enough even for 500 km. With the climate control or air conditioning turned on, the margin of entry is reduced by 1/10. On high speeds the car can only last 300 km.
How much does one charge cost? To fully recharge the car, last year you need to pay 68 rubles (night rate). The car itself has two tariffs - night and day. If the owner of the vehicle has his own house, then Tesla will become an uninterruptible power source for him. This means that you can charge the car at the night rate, and in daytime using this energy to power the whole house with electricity.
On this moment electric cars There are not so many Tesla vehicles in Russia. But this year in the capital of Russia they want to put into operation three dozen transfer hubs, which will have intercepting parking lots. The capacity of the latter will be 4.5 thousand parking spaces. The Moscow Department of Transport plans to equip them with chargers designed for electric cars. Now they are composed technical requirements. The appearance of such TPU will allow car owners to leave their electrical vehicles in such parking lots in the morning, and in the evening the car will be 100% charged, it can be picked up.
JSC "MOESK" has almost 30 charging points in Moscow. This company offers the city to install its chargers. It will cost less than the purchase and installation of foreign analogues.
The Moscow government and OAO Mosenergo agreed to cooperate and develop the infrastructure for electric machines. The parties signed a contract, according to which the capital of Russia will allocate for JSC "MOESK" land. On them, the company will use its own money to create gas stations for electric cars, in particular, here it will be possible to charge Tesla model in Moscow.
Now it is being determined where the electric charging stations will be located, as well as how many of them there will be on the territory of Russia. Similar gas stations will appear in paid parking areas located in the central part of Moscow. On Garden Ring parking for electric cars was free for a while. The agreement with the company "MOESK" shows the rate of the capital not electric vehicles that can change the environmental situation in better side.
You can charge a Tesla model in any part of Moscow where there is an outlet, although the charging process itself cannot be called fast. One hour of "feeding" from the outlet will allow the car to travel 30 km. To increase the power reserve, you must use a special outlet that is designed for electric machines. It will take 16 hours to fully charge the car from the outlet, but if you use a special one - 4.5 hours.
On the official website of the company, you can calculate the cost of such a charge. To do this, it is enough just to introduce energy tariffs. Charging "to the eyeballs" at a daily rate, which will allow the car to overcome 500 km, costs no more than 300 rubles. If you use the night rate, then the amount will be 4 times less.
Information provided by forum members
In the world today there is a trend to move away from gasoline engines to electric traction and batteries. This affected not only public transport and municipal engineering, but also personal cars. You can argue for a long time about their efficiency, price and environmental friendliness, but we will not do this - we will consider this as a challenge to urban infrastructure.
There have been talks about charging for electric vehicles in Moscow for a long time - I heard the news about this already in 2012. But it so happened that they began to appear on the streets only and immediately with a jamb - they put the exercises in the parking lot for the disabled. Then everything seemed to go better - the stations became visually larger, but no one had any idea how they work. And then these same stations began to disappear - after the reconstruction of the streets, there were no more charges in place.
Chargers for electric vehicles have become slowly becoming an urban legend: a friend of a friend of a girl’s best friend saw them on the streets, but then they disappeared, and even when they managed to be seen at midnight in a parade of planets, no one understood how they work. In general, I decided to use dark magic and dig into this topic.
Who is responsible for this
Now in Moscow there are stations from Mosenergo and Rosseti. Rosseti install and connect the stations themselves - for them it is more of a PR project. Mosenergo installs stations at the expense of a quota of 150 power plants for Moscow, but they are powered either by the United Energy Company or the Moscow United Electric Grid Company.
This is Rosseti station: 
This is the Mosenergo station: 
The Department of Transport of Moscow in this game takes the role of the coordinator of the process.
How it works
To find out the sacrament of the work of exercises, I wrote a request to Deptrans: 
The answer didn't help much. Let's start with the fact that on the Moscow transport portal there are no stations marked, which in fact are in the city (upd: the map has been updated). No stations on Petrovka: 
There are no two stations from Leontievsky lane either. Perhaps there are no other stations - so it is difficult to name their exact number today. 
For a long time, the stations did not even have instructions. What is it and how to use it? 
This has been fixed recently: 
Rosseti initially had such a sticker on the charger, but the answer to questions where to get the card And what is the price for this pleasure she did not give 
For the duration of the pilot project, charging stations are opened with a Troika card, and there is no need to pay for electricity. To connect, you only need a cable that is inserted into the "mother": 
There are also two buttons: start and stop. In principle, they are easy to guess: 
wolf hare
After the end of the pilot phase, apparently, it will be necessary to take a special single card from MOESK in order to be able to power the machine. I didn't find any information about the price.
Oh yes, even for electric vehicles paid parking- free. Fortunately, there are only 250 of them in the city.
Connection issues
I was very embarrassed by how electric charging in the Chistye Prudy area was:
And then she disappeared, right after the Boulevard Ring last year: 
Interesting things have come to light: fast charging machines need a lot of energy, so a large cable with a capacity of 23 kilowatts is needed. 
This is really a lot. Not everywhere it is possible to connect such a station, and even such cables tend to ignite sometimes. Considering all this, Pyotr Palych decided not to put such stations on the reconstructed streets.
underground collector on the reconstructed street
That is why the stations moved from the Boulevard Ring and other streets.
The difficulties do not end there. Moscow power engineers are very leisurely guys, so connecting Mosenergo stations takes an average of six months. A similar situation is observed with, and other urban facilities. For Rosseti, it seems to be simpler with this - they install most of the stations on their own land and power them themselves.
Place issues
If you think that this is where the problems with charging end, then you are mistaken)
The presence of a station at the edge of the sidewalk imposes restrictions on the cycling infrastructure - it is impossible to build a cycling lane when you have a hose from the car to the station sticking out at the handlebar level. This is another reason why the station had to move from the Boulevard Ring - now cyclists pass there.
There is also a problem with parking: now any car can park in front of the station - we have neither a special sign for electric vehicles, nor prohibitions for parking other cars at the outlet. Although there is a lonely sign near Chistye Prudy, similar to the one we need, but it is not in the standard, and there is no charge near it) 
How is it with them
Stations for electric cars are in many cities. As a rule, parking at stations is only allowed for electric vehicles. It's kind of logical. At the same time, they don’t give out free parking - after all, a car still occupies a lot of city land. An exception for residents, but here each city solves the issue differently.
London
Energy costs money, and encouraging motoring is not a good thing. So everyone pays according to the meter on city charges. In London, now they put chargers in the lights, and users use the device to select the right amount of charge in the cables - the bill comes to their phone or computer.
Paris
In Paris, electric vehicles can be charged at the city's electric rental stations. From 7 am to 10 pm:
First hour - 1 euro
Subsequent - 3 euros per hour
From 10 pm to 7 am:
First hour - 1 euro
Subsequent - 3 euros per hour, but not more than 6 euros
Copenhagen
Free chargers are often available at shopping malls and other private institutions - this is how they lure people. For example, as in Kyiv: 
In general, is it worth it?
In most cases, cars are charged at night. This is logical, because during the day they either ride it, or it stands at the house. Charge for a long time and from ordinary socket, but enough for driving around the city - short distances allow. 
Actually, here lies the blunder of the Moscow charging campaign - people need sockets near the house for nightly charging. Driving an uncharged car is like leaving the house with a phone that is 10% charged. Only if the phone can be quickly recharged in the subway or cafe, then it will be more difficult with a car. Although you can carry a gazelle with a generator instead of an external battery)
It would be much more practical to introduce charging stations when building new houses. There are some difficulties with the distribution of electricity bills and the balance holder, but this can be resolved. There are similar requirements for new houses in the European Union - from 2019 it will be impossible to enter a house without an outlet.
A good solution would be to put charging stations in park-and-ride or parking lots - in places where people leave their cars for a long time. Shopping or business center parking is also suitable.
In the case of an existing development, stations are needed in a residential area, and not on the main streets of the city, where there is not enough parking anyway. In addition, there should be bicycle infrastructure on large streets, but in a residential area this is not so critical. The process should be more of an application process: a person makes a request, an energy company looks for a place and invites the user to conclude an agreement. While the street outlets are not like that high demand to arrange them in random order. In California, at least, the Air Emissions Reduction Program subsidizes electric vehicle charging specifically for residents.
It would be very good to combine the stations with something else - it takes us a long time to connect power engineers, but it would turn out to put not only recharging, but also some kind of stall, electric rental or information cloud service (taxi, carsharing, bike rental, etc.) for example .
In general, as I have already, there is not much difference between a car running on gasoline and batteries - they occupy the same amount of space on the street.
From November 1 filling stations must be equipped with chargers for electric vehicles. But gas station owners are in no hurry to connect sockets due to the high cost of their installation and the small number of electric car users
Since November 1, 2016, charging for electric vehicles has been included in the list of requirements for filling station equipment. The corresponding government decree, which was supposed to "create an incentive for the development of environmentally friendly transport in Russia", was adopted in August 2015.
But, as market participants interviewed by RBC said, the mass appearance of chargers at gas stations over the past almost two months has not happened. For those companies that still decide to install, this is more of an image project, experts say.
No cars - no chargers
The main reason for the low activity of gas station owners is still a small number of electric vehicle owners. According to the Avtostat Info agency, the market for electric cars is only 750 cars, of which 41% are in Moscow and the Moscow region. For comparison: sales of new cars for 11 months of 2016 amounted to 1279 cars. But Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak believes in the growth of the electric car market. According to him, by 2020, the electric car market should reach 200,000 vehicles, which is 266 times higher than current figures.
Almost a third of all electric cars sold in Russia are accounted for by two brands Mitsubishi- i-MiEV (279 cars) and PHEV (106). According to Ilya Nikonorov, the head of the marketing and public relations department at MMS Rus (distributor of Mitsubishi in Russia), the underdevelopment of the network charging stations- one of the reasons that hinders the development of the electric car market, along with the lack of state support and climatic conditions. “In our opinion, the situation can begin to change for the better only if there are state program on the development of electric transport, ”the interlocutor of RBC notes.
Among the existing state support measures for the market is zero import customs duty on cars with electric motor and components for their production (valid until August 31, 2017), reminds the representative of the Ministry of Industry and Trade. In addition, a reduced rate (5%) of the import customs duty on electric freight transport weighing up to 5 tons has been established.
“Russia is one of the outright outsiders in the development of the electric vehicle segment, since, apart from zeroing the import duty, there are practically no other incentives for the growth of the fleet of electric vehicles in our country,” says Alexander Klimnov, an analyst at Avtostat Info. According to him, market stimulation is provided only by "wealthy motorists" as part of a "fashion trend."
Expensive sockets
Despite the inclusion of chargers in the list of elements required at gas stations, there are no penalties for their absence at gas stations, a representative of the Ministry of Transport specified.
As Evgeny Arkusha, president of the Russian Fuel Union, told RBC, today, for owners of gas stations, the installation of electric charging stations is more of an image project than a real business. “Gas stations are not designed to charge electric vehicles. Charging of electric vehicles should be carried out in parking lots at night, because charging electric vehicles takes a long time. Of course, there are fast chargers that allow you to recharge in 20-30 minutes, but they require much more power than the allocated capacity for filling stations,” notes Arkusha. “If the gas station really wants to launch such a charging station and start selling electricity, then it needs to enter into contractual relations with power supply organizations.” According to one of the market participants, the cost of the complex of the charging installation (connection to the power grid and equipment) can reach several million rubles, depending on the type of charger, with most of the capital costs coming from the connection infrastructure.
The high cost of the costs so far stops the owners of gas stations from the active introduction of charging stations. Since 2015, Tatneft has only two charging stations operating, but both of them are located on the territory of Kazan Technograd, a company representative told RBC. Plans for 2017 for the development of the network in Tatneft are not disclosed. Projects, but so far pilot ones, should appear at Gazprom Neft in the Sverdlovsk Region and in Moscow, its representative told RBC. LUKOIL opened the first charging station in the Moscow region in November. In 2017, LUKOIL will launch a project in Moscow's Serebryany Bor — a charging station for two cars. In addition, chargers will appear at two gas stations in Yuzhny federal district, said the representative of LUKOIL.
While the owners of gas stations are only making plans to develop the infrastructure for electric vehicles at their gas stations, MOESK (part of the Rosseti Group of Companies) is the largest operator of such networks. “By the end of 2016, eight more charging stations will be put into operation near the shopping and entertainment center and at gas stations,” Sergey Stepnov, Deputy Director for Automation of Business Processes at PJSC MOESK, told RBC. In total, since the start of the MOESK-EV project, about 40 charging stations have been opened in Moscow and the region. In total, according to Rosseti, there are about 60 charging points in Russia.

Attention!
If the car does not start for another reason, the "battery charging" service is considered rendered.
We do not carry out the evacuation of stalled vehicles
If the battery is dead, the car will not start. There are several options for solving the problem. For example, you can buy new battery or seek help from other motorists. In the first case, you will spend time searching for a device and extra money. Car owners are now reluctant to go to the aid of colleagues in trouble, fearing that onboard system their machines may fail. We encourage you to contact us for help!
Rules for lighting a car
- Use special frost-resistant copper wires - "crocodiles". The connection of the ends of the wires with the clamps is soldered.
- Both batteries must have the same voltage. If the dead battery has a voltage of 12 V, then the donor should also have 12 V. You can’t light 12V from 24V and turn it around !!!
- Strictly observe the sequence of connecting wires
- When connecting and disconnecting wires, avoid touching the pins of the wires themselves. In case of sparking, check the cable and connections. Avoid getting the cable pins on the car body.
- Donor car and with a dead battery should not come into contact
- Before starting work, turn off the donor car.
- Remove the terminals from the donor battery. Such an operation will protect the one who “lights up” his circuit, and is calculated by the manufacturer - after all, when the battery changes, the old one is also turned off.
Wire connection
Connect the cigarette lighter wires strictly in correct sequence:
- Connect the other side of the negative cable to the ENGINE BLOCK of the vehicle with the DOWN BATTERY;
- Leave in this position for about a minute;
- We start the car with a dead battery. After starting the "chargeable car" do not turn it off;
- We disconnect the negative cable from the ENGINE BLOCK of the “lighted” (faulty) car;
On the donor car, we put everything back (we connect the terminals). If your car does not start after frost or battery for a long time in broken state:
- Shut off the donor car with a charged battery;
- Remove the terminals from the CHARGING battery. Please note that it is from the one being charged, on the serviceable one, we leave everything as it is;
We connect the ignition wires in the correct sequence:
- Connect one side of the positive cable to the positive terminal of the CHARGED battery;
- Connect the other side of the positive cable to the positive terminal of the DOWN battery;
- Connect one side of the negative cable to the negative terminal of the CHARGED battery;
- Connect the other side of the negative cable to the negative terminal of the DOWN battery;
Starting a donor car. Let it work in this state for about 10-15 minutes. During all this time, DO NOT turn on or use any of the vehicles on any of the additional devices using food. We turn off the light, turn off the radio, etc. It is advisable to keep the donor car at low speeds, or sometimes gas it up;
As time passes. We muffle the car with a working battery;
Disconnect the ignition wires in the correct sequence:
- We disconnect the negative cable from the battery of the “lighted” (faulty) car;
- We disconnect the positive cable from the battery of the “lighted” (faulty) car;
- We remove the ignition wires from the battery of the donor car (serviceable);
We connect the “chargeable” (faulty one that was charged) battery and try to start the car.
All over the world now petrol cars switch to electric. Replace environmentally harmful vehicles with environmentally friendly ones. But apparently not in Moscow - according to the traffic police, only about 100 electric vehicles are registered in the capital.
By an electric car, I mean an electric car that can be bought in the region of 1-2 million rubles. Tesla for 12,000,000 rubles is not even worth discussing, it’s rather a stupid toy for those who don’t peck money. For that kind of money, environmentally friendly horses will carry you, or a couple of bloggers from LiveJournal will carry you on their hump for the rest of their lives.
In fact, the market is very huge selection electric vehicles - more than 100 brands for every taste and color: from Chinese to piece copies. Prices for new electric cars start at 350,000 rubles. If you don't believe me, Google will help you.
I conducted my socio-technical experiment on the most popular electric car in the world - the Nissan leaf. Currently, it is one of the leaders in the segment of budget electric vehicles. Practical, comfortable hatchback with a slightly unusual appearance. A quick look at the electric car nissan leaf will not even reveal its origin. No signs of familiar electric vehicles.
Officially, the leaf is not delivered to Russia, but you can buy it new in Europe and bring it in (the price will be around 2 million rubles). Either there wide choose on secondary market from 500,000 rubles, but here you can fly into the battery, and replacing it costs a lot of money. Nissan has no plans to sell an electric car in Russia yet, primarily because the country lacks the necessary infrastructure.
First time, me. This was also a leaf, you can read more about technical specifications car and summer operation.
So, for two years in Moscow there were only 5 electric filling stations for the whole city. And even then, half of them did not work. Now there are much more electric charges, according to my estimates, over 30 pieces, but there are nuances. Firstly, there is no clear electric charge card, all available cards on the Internet are rather "folk" and do not contain complete information. Secondly, access to many electric chargers is limited by security guards and barriers. Thirdly, no one guarantees that the electric charger is in working order. Such a roulette in Russian.
At the beginning of this year, the official portal of Mayor Sobyanin and the Moscow government reported, citing the words of Maxim Liksutov, head of the Moscow Department of Transport and Road Infrastructure Development, that by the end of the year 200 operating electric charging stations for electric vehicles would appear in the capital. I don’t know if they appeared or not, but there are obviously few electric charges yet. For comparison, there are already over 2500 charging stations in Europe!
I refueled at gas stations of MOESK (Rosseti), probably this is the only serious office on the "electric filling" market in Moscow. Only she probably more or less monitors her stations.
In other places, chaos reigns, because. while this is not a business, but rather only a whim of individual leaders.
Let's get back to the electric car. The Leaf has an 80 kW electric motor, front-wheel drive. Max Speed- 145 km per hour. The battery is lithium-ion, with a capacity of 24 kW (although there are already models with a 30 kW battery). On fully charged nissan electric car Leaf covers 160 km (or 200 km with a 30 kW battery).
Inside, the Nissan Leaf is trimmed simply and unpretentiously, but in terms of functionality and spaciousness it is not inferior to traditional golf-class hatchbacks.
A rather non-standard interior with pronounced hi-tech features visually increases the already solid dimensions of the cabin. The car has everything, as in a regular golf class: air conditioning, music, rear view camera, only the gas tank is missing. On the central panel there is a touch screen monitor with a power management system.
The vehicle is equipped with two charger slots at the front of the vehicle, one for standard charging and one for boost charging. For charging, you will need a standard 220v electrical network and 8-9 hours of time. However, 80% of the capacity on a special charger Nissan (480 volts - 125 amps) are replenished in 30 minutes. There are such devices in Moscow. Traffic jams are not a hindrance for an electric car, because the slower you go, the more kilometers you can cover.
Have you seen how quickly smartphones sit down in winter? At low temperatures, the mileage of the electric car also decreases. In winter, the range per charge is reduced from 160 km to 130 km, depending on the model and year of manufacture.
And if you turn on the headlights, stove and other additional devices, the charge will last even less time. To be objective, in winter in Moscow, a leaf charge is enough for 100-120 km of run. In principle, it’s enough for a day, but the problem is with charging. By the way, Nissan calculated that the average owner of a C-segment car drives about 50 km per day, so that’s just right for a small city.
In winter, there is no particular hassle with the operation. traveled to freezing rain, and in snowfalls. Acceptable temperature for Leaf is up to -17. Soon Nissan plans to complete tests of new batteries that are capable of providing a range of more than 500 km. In the meantime, for me, the Nissan Leaf is ideal as a second car in the family for those who live in a private house or in a small town. 160 kilometers of run is enough to travel all day on business, and put on charge at night, like an iPhone.
There are also privileges. So, electric cars can be left in paid parking spaces in Moscow for free. The second plus is that many gas stations are also free so far, the main thing is to get a card. Access to charging is carried out by cards.
In general, it is electric vehicles that are the most promising and affordable alternative cars with internal combustion engines, which does not require a radical restructuring of the infrastructure, as, for example, in the case of cars on fuel cells: After all, there is a socket in every house! There are still few public charging stations in Moscow, but they are free, as is parking throughout the capital.
