We are developing electric mobility in urban settings by purchasing electric buses and expanding the charging infrastructure. Also, micromobility is developing with the introduction of electric scooters, as well as the introduction of the Spark electric car sharing system, which is already available in Sofia and Plovdiv and has plans to expand to Varna in 2024”, she said.
