North Macedonia plans to subsidize the purchase of 200 electric vehicles for taxi drivers in order to improve urban transport and reduce air pollution. The country’s first move toward electrifying public transport was announced last year by Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski, who stated that 100–120 electric buses would be purchased. The average price of the mentioned electric cars is 28,000 euros, which amounts to around 5.6 million euros for 200 vehicles. The ministry’s subsidy will cover 15%, or a total of around 840,000 euros.
