Opel may include electric cars in model range in Russia

MOSCOW, January 13. /TASS/. Opel is ready to include electric cars in the model range in Russia if there is adequate government support for the development of this type of transport, Vice President PSA, Managing Director of Peugeot, Citroen and Opel in Russia, Alexei Volodin said in an interview with TASS.
“In a number of European countries, popularization of electric vehicles is actively promoted by the state: owners of electric cars are provided with subsidies, benefits and preferences, the ecosystem is actively developing. In Russia, we do yet not see such an active position of the state in the direction of electric vehicles,” he said. “But if the state clearly says that electric transport is our future, let's focus on it, we are technologically ready,” Volodin added.
According to Volodin, the Groupe PSA already has electric cars – in particular, under the Opel (Corsa) brand. “The question is in the feasibility of bringing these cars to the Russian market,” he explained.
