CAREC Institute to Host Policy Dialogue on Electric Vehicle Deployment in the CAREC Region

The CAREC Institute is set to convene a pivotal Policy Dialogue on Electric Vehicle (EV) and Infrastructure Deployment in the CAREC Region on March 26, 2025. This online event aims to address the critical barriers and opportunities associated with the adoption of electric vehicles in the landlocked economies of Central Asia, where the transportation sector is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions.

The dialogue will feature a comprehensive review of global and regional experiences in EV development, highlighting both successes and challenges. Participants will engage in discussions focused on the formulation of targeted policies to enhance the domestic EV industry, improve infrastructure, and promote sustainable practices. Key topics will include advanced battery technologies, charging infrastructure development, and the integration of smart grid solutions.

Government officials, business leaders, and academic researchers will gather to share insights and collaborate on strategies that can drive economic growth, improve energy security, and enhance environmental quality across the CAREC region. The outcomes of this dialogue are expected to contribute significantly to the formulation of national policies that facilitate EV adoption and promote regional cooperation.
