The Republic of Moldova has introduced a national eMobility programme aimed at expanding public electric vehicle charging infrastructure and increasing the share of electrified vehicles on its roads by 2030. The roadmap sets targets for at least 600 public charging points, a 15% share of battery-electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles in the national fleet, and a reduction in road transport CO₂ emissions.
The landlocked country, which covers approximately 33,846 square kilometres and has a population of nearly three million, plans to use the programme to establish a framework for electromobility development. The document outlines charging infrastructure requirements, potential funding mechanisms and measures to encourage investment in the electric vehicle sector.
Moldova Plans to Expand Public Charging Network
Moldova aims to increase the number of public charging points from approximately 250 in 2025 to at least 600 by the end of 2030. The plan also calls for at least 30% of newly developed charging stations to be located outside the capital, Chișinău.
The geographic target is intended to extend charging access beyond the capital and support electric vehicle adoption across the country. Expanding the network will be a central part of the government’s efforts to make electric mobility more practical for drivers and businesses.
Electrification and Emissions Targets for 2030
Under the roadmap, battery-electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles are expected to account for at least 15% of Moldova’s national vehicle fleet by 2030.
The government also aims to reduce CO₂ emissions from road transport by at least 15% compared with 2025 levels. Achieving these objectives will require progress in both charging infrastructure and vehicle adoption, alongside measures to support the wider electric mobility ecosystem.
The programme identifies investment attraction and the development of electric vehicle-related services as important elements of implementation. It also seeks to support specialist training to build the expertise needed to operate and maintain the growing eMobility network.
Legal Framework to Support Implementation
Moldova’s position within the European Union’s Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) is another consideration in the programme. The government intends to introduce a legal framework based on the roadmap, accompanied by an implementation programme.
Vladimir Bolea, Moldova’s Minister of Infrastructure and Regional Development and Deputy Prime Minister, said: “We are aware that the Republic of Moldova forms part of the European TEN-T transport network. In this context, we will introduce a legal framework based on this plan, along with an implementation programme.”
The planned legislation and implementation measures are intended to provide a structure for delivering the country’s charging infrastructure and vehicle electrification targets.
Investment and Workforce Development
Beyond the installation of charging points, the roadmap highlights the importance of attracting investors, developing services for electric vehicles and training qualified specialists. These measures are expected to support the infrastructure and technical capabilities required for broader adoption.
Moldova’s 2030 targets establish measurable objectives for charging availability, fleet composition and transport emissions. Progress will depend on how the government translates the roadmap into legislation, financing arrangements and projects across the country.
