Dialogue and Development Commission vice-chairperson Jasmine Shah on Thursday inaugurated a battery-swapping station at the Azadpur Grid substation here, a first in a network of such stations to be set up across North and North-West Delhi. In a statement, Shah said Delhi’s electric vehicles (EV) policy gave an equal footing to battery swapping as well as traditional EV charging.
“It is heartening to see that Delhi EV policy has generated a lot of enthusiasm among entrepreneurs and fleet operators who are transitioning to EVs…Hence, it is all the more encouraging to see a battery swapping technology has taken off in Delhi,” he said.
