NEW DELHI: To give a further push to the adoption of electric vehicles, chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday launched 11 high-tech, low-cost EV charging stations in the capital. The stations have been set up on public-private partnership (PPP), and have 73 charging points and 12 battery swapping facilities.
Kejriwal said charging EVs at these stations would be “extremely cheap”. The customers will be charged Rs 3 per unit at these charging stations, which will bring down the running cost of two-wheelers to just 7 paise per kilometre, while driving a three-wheeler and a four-wheeler will cost 8 and 33 paise per kilometre, respectively, Kejriwal said. He added that in the next two months, 100 charging stations with 900 charging points and 103 swapping facilities based on the PPP model would be operational in the city.
