NEW RULES FOR EV CHARGING STATIONS
Starting December 1, 2026, new metrological control requirements for electric vehicle (EV) charging stations come into force in Kazakhstan. Legal basis: Order No. 272-НҚ of the Ministry of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan, dated September 25, 2026. What will change? - The measuring systems of charging stations will have to go through the established conformity assessment procedure and be entered in the state register. - Equipment used to calculate the cost of charging will be subject to mandatory metrological verification. - Inspections will focus primarily on the accuracy of measuring the amount of electricity delivered (kWh). What does this mean for EV owners? The main goal of the new rules is to make charging payments more transparent and ensure that drivers pay only for the electricity they actually receive. At the same time, no automatic tariff increase is planned from December 1. Any impact of the new requirements on charging prices will depend on operators' costs. Developing EV infrastructure requires not only new charging stations, but also unified standards of quality and measurement accuracy. LiTRO: roadside assistance, confidence on every trip.
