Bishop Polikarp of Belogradchik will consecrate the thirty new electric vehicles (EV) of the Bulgarian News Agancy (BTA) at a ceremony on Wednesday when the Bulgarian Orthodox church celebrates the day of St. Ignatius. The electric cars will support the work of BTA's reporters and correspondents in Sofia and across the country. Three charging stations for the electric vehicles have also been set up in the BTA courtyard. 

The launch event will begin at 9:30 am.

On Tuesday, European Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth Iliana Ivanova visited BTA's new EV fleet. "I am really impressed by BTA’s initiative," Ivanova said. "We are already in the future," she added and noted that BTA serves as an example to all public institutions with its entirely electrified car park.
