NEW DELHI: In a bid to achieve Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s aim of making Delhi India’s electric vehicle (EV) capital, the Delhi government released a guidebook for EV charging in workplaces for corporates on Monday, November 29.
Jasmine Shah, Vice Chairperson of the Dialogue and Development Committee of Delhi (DDCD), said that according to research, 90% of EVs are charged at home or the workplace. Thus, the guidebook has been designed to help corporate offices in installing EV charging facilities in their offices, thereby making them an integral part of Delhi’s EV movement.
Shah added that in order to encourage private installations of charging stations, the Delhi government has subsidized the installation cost. This comes after multiple private players expressed interest in Delhi’s EV movement, Shah said.
