The Karnataka government on Thursday signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with electric vehicle (EV) maker Ather Energy to set up 1,000 fast charging stations across the country as the state looks to increase its green mobility footprint.
“A MoU was signed between Ather Energy and Electric Supply Companies (ESCOMs) of the state in the presence of chief minister Basavaraj Bommai for setting up 1,000 fast charging stations across the state. The ESCOMs would be the nodal agency to provide all technical support and government agencies would coordinate with the ESCOMs to share their available spaces for the charging stations,” a statement issued by the chief minister’s office (CMO) stated on Thursday.
