ABSTRACT
The electrification of mobility has been identified as a precondition for
successfully reducing dependence on fossil fuels, it also contributes to the
reduction of air and noise pollution (Lan, 2023). The reduction of harmful
emissions on a global scale requires the mobility industry to simultaneously
invest in and study low-carbon energy technology and infrastructure
(Shahzad, 2024). When it comes to determining the locality of the charging
infrastructure, one of the challenges is the capacity of the vehicles’ batteries
and the charging stations. The approach for determining the charging points
will be approbated for long-distance travel along the republican highway
network. Solutions and possible scenarios for upgrading the transport sector
and the associated guarantee of energy resources will be provided through
a multidisciplinary analysis which includes current and future necessities
for accessible charging infrastructure. This will be based on the calculation
of the average distance from the starting point to the necessary station
depending on the battery capacity, the amount of energy which can be charged
in a 30-40-minute range, as well as the condition that the battery is in.
