Starting December 1, 2026, new requirements will be implemented for electric charging stations in Kazakhstan. Equipment for measuring the amount of electricity used to charge electric vehicles must be installed at all charging stations. These requirements not only call for inspections but also the upgrading of equipment at existing electric charging stations.

The comprehensive plan includes stricter monitoring of the operations of charging stations, which aims to enhance transparency and increase user trust. These measures are intended to establish new standards and improve service quality for drivers. The initiative also envisions the development of the electric charging infrastructure market.

"Introducing new requirements will ensure better customer service and increased transparency in service provision," the statement reads.
