Tbilisi Mayor pledges owners of electric vehicles will be provided with free parking lots and charging stations

Tbilisi City Hall will arrange free parking lots for electric vehicles and will install free charging stations for their owners, - Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze told reporters on Tuesday after the meeting with representatives of banks.

The Mayor said that the banks are ready to replace their auto fleet with hybrid and electric vehicles.

“Few days ago, we, together with the Prime Minister, held a presentation related to the “Green Policy”. The City Hall plans to carry out a number of projects, including regulation of the public transport, rehabilitation, care and construction of green spaces. We discussed relevant regulations in the construction sector as the pollution caused by it creates problems. These joint efforts will give us the possibility to improve the ecological situation.

It is very important that the banks are ready to provide a maximum support. We have heard from them that they welcome our policy and join us in a number of decisions. We have heard that they are going to replace the auto fleet with electric and hybrid vehicles. On our side, Tbilisi City Hall will arrange free parking lots for electric vehicles and will install free charging stations for their owners. All this will enable us to gradually move to electric vehicles and improve the ecological situation, "Kaladze said.
