Centre to help Andhra Pradesh develop electric vehicle infrastructure
VIJAYAWADA: As part of the national policy, the Centre will support Andhra Pradesh to develop electric vehicle charging infrastructure in the State, said Energy Efficiency Services Ltd (EESL- GoI), executive vice-chairman Saurabh Kumar, while requesting the State government to support the objective of bringing electric vehicles revolution in the country in the next 10 years.
The Centre aims to see electric three-wheelers operating in the country by 2023, and electric two-wheelers by 2025. Electric vehicles represent one of the most promising pathways to increase energy security, reduce carbon emissions and improve air quality. Electric mobility comes with zero or ultra-low tail-pipe emissions of local air pollutants and much lower noise. It can boost economic and industrial competitiveness, creating a congenial atmosphere for attracting investments, he said.
