Overview:

Electric Vehicles (EV), with zero emissions, are the most environmentally friendly option currently available on the market. For the last 10 years, the global development of the EV infrastructure increased substantially. Statistics report an increase in the registration of electric cars in recent years. The sales of new electric cars have reached a new global record in 2018, with 1.26 million units sold worldwide, or 74% more than in 2017, when 727,000 units were sold. The EV segment has thus recorded one of the largest increases in all segments of the car manufacturing, a growth that motivates car manufacturers to invest in this direction. 

In comparison, in 2018, there were 13 public charging stations in Moldova. During the 1st phase of the project related to the development of the electric vehicle’s infrastructure in Moldova, implemented by the UNDP Moldova Sustainable Green Cities project, another 60 EV chargers will be functioning by the end of 2020. Out of the proposed 60 stations, 22 are already installed.

The goal of this assignment is to select a responsible party (private sector company) based on a competitive process willing to participate in the development of the Electric Vehicle charging infrastructure in Moldova in partnership with the UNDP-GEF Project titled: Moldova Sustainable Green Cities – Catalysing investment in sustainable green cities in the Republic of Moldova using a holistic integrated urban planning approach. 

The proposed project is linked with the joint UNDP - Energy Efficiency Fund Project “Development of the Electric Vehicle charging infrastructure in Moldova, Phase II, EV fast-charging stations” aiming at the promotion of the electrical vehicles use through the installation of 3 EV fast-charging stations in the country.
