Economic efficiency justification of construction and operation of electric filling stations

The number of road vehicles is growing every year. At the same time, the negative impact of cars on the environment is increasing. For many countries, the environmental problem is already coming to the fore and opens up various ways to solve it. One of these ways could be the transition to electric vehicles running on environmentally friendly energy. In many countries, the transition to electric vehicles as an environmentally friendly mode of transport is adopted at the state level, through additional incentive systems and benefits. The spread of electric vehicles in Russia is not very active. One of the reasons is the lack of the necessary infrastructure – charging stations. The purpose of this research is to substantiate the economic efficiency of the construction and operation of an electric filling station (charging station). When performing the calculations, the methods of statistical analysis, the method of calculating the net present value of the project (NPV), the graphical method of presenting the final results of the study were used. Calculations showed that the net present value of the project for the construction and operation of the electric filling station will be 181 952 571 rubles during 9 years of operation with an annual energy consumption of 2 073 600 kWh. This research is of the greatest interest to private and public investors, as it is based on both environmental component and economic efficiency
