# Moldova targets 25% electric fleet by 2030 with €60M mobility plan

> The Republic of Moldova aims to convert at least 25% of its nationwide vehicle fleet to electric and plug-in hybrid models by 2030. Under the newly drafted National Electric Mobility Program 2030, the government also plans to deploy at least 500 functional public charging points and cut road transport emissions by 15%.

The Republic of Moldova aims to convert at least 25% of its nationwide vehicle fleet to electric and plug-in hybrid models by 2030. Under the newly drafted National Electric Mobility Program 2030, the government also plans to deploy at least 500 functional public charging points and cut road transport emissions by 15%.

Drafted by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Regional Development, the initiative seeks to establish a modern, interoperable charging infrastructure, accelerate the adoption of low-emission vehicles, and update the regulatory framework.

**Overcoming dependence on fossil fuels**

Urgent policy action is driven by the stark realities of the domestic transit sector. According to the government policy rationale, Moldova’s automotive market is overwhelmingly dominated by imported second-hand combustion vehicles, with over 98% of road transport energy derived from imported fossil fuels.

At the same time, public charging stations remain scarce and unevenly distributed, concentrated almost entirely within the capital, Chișinău.

While global EV sales surpassed 17 million units in 2024—accounting for over 20% of new car sales—Moldova’s adoption rate remains muted. Low household income levels, restricted access to auto financing, and sparse charging networks continue to bottleneck local transition.

**Strategic pillars and grid capacity**

The national program establishes three core action pillars: expanding public charging networks alongside regulatory frameworks, accelerating road transport decarbonization through private and public fleet electrification, and ensuring an equitable regional transition with professional upskilling.

Key administrative milestones include building a centralized national registry to monitor charging points and integrating alternative fuel infrastructure along trans-European TEN-T corridors.

Power grid demand is expected to surge alongside vehicle adoption. Electricity consumption from electric vehicles is projected to rise from 4.3 GWh in 2025 to 77.8 GWh by 2030, requiring close coordination with national distribution grid operators.

**Financing model and implementation**

Implementing the program will require an estimated €60.71 million (approx. 1.19 billion MDL). The state budget will allocate €165,300 (3.24 million MDL), while external grants will cover €2.08 million (40.8 million MDL).

This leaves a funding shortfall of €58.52 million (approx. 1.147 billion MDL) at the drafting stage, primarily linked to network expansion and vehicle incentives. Authorities plan a phased implementation through public-private partnerships, private investment, and international development loans under a 2026–2030 Action Plan.

Municipal initiatives are already taking shape. Capital authorities announced that charging stations will be installed along Mircea cel Bătrân Boulevard as part of an ongoing urban modernization project, marking the city's first integrated street-level EV charging deployment.
