Having failed to promote electric vehicle public charging stations for over five years, allowing them to fall into disuse, the UT administration is now planning to revive them, while also greatly lowering the charging time.
As per officials, currently the charging points take up to eight hours to charge a four-wheeler. Following the upgrade, that is expected to take six months, an electric car will be fully charged in around 1 hour.
Similarly, electric two-wheelers that are currently charged in three hours at these stations will be ready for use in 18 minutes after the revamp.
