“We expect a wide market entry of electric vehicles”

The owners of the Trassa filling station network (JSC Evrotrans) announced plans to enter an IPO in 2023. According to the company itself, it ranks second among independent filling station operators in the Moscow region with a 3.2% market share and expects 2022 revenue of 52 billion rubles, and by 2025 plans to increase it by more than 1.5 times. The company’s CEO Sergey Alekseenkov and co-owner Nikolai Doroshenko told Vedomosti about their business strategy with an emphasis on the development of charging stations for electric vehicles, including using wind turbines to power them. In their opinion, the inevitable growth in the number of electric vehicles will only increase the demand for related services, because the owners of such cars have to spend much more time at gas stations, waiting for charging.
