Deputy Prime Minister  of the Russian Federation Alexey Overchuk said that at one of the  meetings of the EEC Council, the issue of extending the zero customs  duty on the import of electric vehicles into the territory of the  EAEU was raised. "As a result, a month ago we decided to extend it  for another two years. But at the same time, we decided to show our  partners from the EAEU countries the opportunities that are currently  developing in the field of electric vehicle production in the Russian  Federation. We believe that in the very near future we will be able  to meet the demand for electric vehicles through our own production,"  Alexey Overchuk said.

The meeting participants also visited the "Armenia", "Belarus" and  "Kazakhstan" exhibition pavilions at Exhibition of Achievements of  the National Economy of the EAEU countries.

A few days earlier the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia  extended the quota for duty-free import of electric vehicles into the  country.
