After Russia's night shelling of Ukraine's energy facilities, demand for charging stations has increased several times over. It is claimed online that prices for some charging stations began to rise overnight, with some increasing by almost 8,000 hryvnias. However, UNN investigated the market for charging stations popular among Ukrainians, and overall, prices currently remain stable, and have even decreased since the beginning of the war.
