The visit took place on the sidelines of a cabinet session on Wednesday.

Minister of Industry, Mine and Trade Abbas Aliabadi briefed the president on the process of production and commercializing of the cars.  

Based on an earlier agreement between Aliabadi and Tehran Major Alireza Zakani, installation of charging stations for electric cars has begun in Tehran which will increase to 70 stations by August 24.

The agreement also includes measures to supply some 50,000 electric cars and some 200,000 electric motorbikes to the intracity transportation fleet in the capital Tehran until March.

By March, charging stations will also be installed along intercity roads connecting Tehran to other neighboring provinces and in other high traffic Iranian provinces like Korasan Razavi Province as well.
