Bureau of Energy Efficiency to lead the way for EV-charging infrastructure
The Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) will be the Central nodal agency to act as the key facilitator in installing charging infrastructure for electric vehicles (EVs) throughout the country.
A provision for a State nodal agency to be nominated by the State governments has also been made in the revised guidelines and specifications for charging infrastructure issued on Friday. The new guidelines shall supersede the earlier ones issued by the Ministry of Power on December 14, 2018.
The new guidelines have proposed a phase-wise installation of an appropriate network of charging infrastructure throughout the country ensuring that at least one charging station should be available in a grid of 3 km X 3 km in the cities and one charging station at every 25 km on both sides of highways/roads.
