The government has set up a goal of having one EV charging point within a three-kilometer radius, according to Delhi Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot, The Delhi EV Policy is dedicated to fostering an environment that facilitates the supply of both private and public infrastructure for charging and swapping. In order to design a plan for Delhi to build a network of charging stations around the city, a working group for the city’s faster roll-out of charging infrastructure was formed.
Additionally, he claimed that the Covid epidemic cost the Delhi government two crucial years, but that it will still be able to meet its goal of 25% electric car registrations by 2024.
“The development of a strong charging station network is the main objective. More than 2,000 charging outlets are already present in Delhi. The creation of over 100 charging stations is underway. Our goal is to have a charging station available within a three-kilometer radius” During a discussion at the Delhi EV Forum held today, the minister made this statement.
Asked what was holding back the sales of electric vehicles despite several awareness campaigns and incentives, Mr. Gahlot said a lot of people are not adopting EVs due to the range issue and the unavailability of charging stations along the highways or outside Delhi.
“The range issue must be addressed by the manufacturer’s comfortable range solutions should be provided,” he said.
