Translated with AI from the Russian original.

The Armenian authorities have not yet decided on extending benefits for electric vehicle owners for 2027. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated that the government and the mayor's office will review this matter again, taking into account growing traffic congestion and jams. Based on the discussions, a decision will be made on whether to maintain free municipal parking for electric transport.

The quota for the duty-free import of electric vehicles next year has not been determined either. Its size has yet to be agreed upon with Armenia’s partners in the Eurasian Economic Union. Until negotiations conclude, the authorities cannot confirm how many cars will be permitted for import duty-free.

Thus, the current perks for electric vehicles are not yet guaranteed for 2027. The issue of free parking will depend on the stance of the government and the municipality, while duty-free import terms will depend on agreements reached within the EAEU.
