VIJAYAWADA: The Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), an agency under the Union Ministry of Power, has asked the State government to focus on creating charging infrastructure for electric vehicles, which will be promoted on a massive scale in the next 5 to 10 years. In response, the Andhra Pradesh State Energy Conservation Mission (APSECM) is planning a pilot project to set up charging stations at suitable locations, which are being identified.
According to a statement from APSECM on Sunday, it requested the BEE, which has recently written letters to various State governments, including Andhra Pradesh, explaining the guidelines and standards for faster adoption of e-vehicles and expediting the creation of charging infrastructure, to provide grant-in-aid for implementing the pilot project.
