Mongolia to Build 500 EV Green Stations by 2028

Date:

Prime Minister Uchral Nyam-Osor held a meeting to accelerate Mongolia’s Green Resolution. The resolution targets a sharp reduction in fuel and energy imports. During the session, officials discussed private sector proposals and resolved several key issues. The Ulaanbaatar Chamber of Commerce presented a new electric vehicle infrastructure program. The program plans to build 500 green stations across the country over the next two years.

Forty of these green stations should be operational before the COP17 conference. Officials estimate Mongolia will require 50,000 electric vehicles by 2030. Over five years, this transition could replace 300 million liters of fuel. Consequently, the country could save approximately 200 million U.S. dollars. Khash-Erdene Battsengel, the chamber’s executive director, emphasized collaborative implementation. He said multiple private companies should run the project rather than one business. The initiative remains open to all interested enterprises.

This year, authorities plan to install 80 charging points in Ulaanbaatar and 30 in rural areas. The prime minister instructed the Ministry of Finance to arrange financing quickly. He wants contracts finalized by June 5 so construction can begin immediately. Additionally, he directed the city administration and transport ministry to finalize all 80 locations. Currently, 95 percent of EV owners charge their vehicles at home. If the private sector builds 500 charging points, a smart payment system will follow. This system would offer lower nighttime rates and save drivers around 7 million tugrik annually.

Prime Minister Uchral also proposed green stations along the Zamiin-Uud–Ulaanbaatar highway corridor. These facilities would include charging points, coffee shops, restaurants, stores, and public restrooms. He confirmed the government will support such projects through tax incentives and land allocation. Ulaanbaatar Mayor Purevdagva Byaruuzana noted the capital has 804,000 registered vehicles. Only 0.2 percent of them are electric, so he stressed the need for faster adoption. He pledged close cooperation with the private sector to expand infrastructure.

The government’s Green Resolution, approved on April 29, 2026, also includes battery storage and solar power facilities at five locations. More than 100 businesses have expressed interest in participating in these projects, according to the Government Media and Public Relations Office.
