Shedding light on the increasing usage of electric vehicles in the national capital, the Delhi government is planning to implement a ‘time-of-day’ tariff system for charging EVs, under which the users will have to pay more for consuming electricity at the peak hours and less during non-peak hours. This measure is being considered with a goal of incentivising users and maintaining grid stability.
A report in Mint quoted Jasmine Shah, vice chairperson of the Dialogue and Development of Delhi as saying that the consultations regarding the same are in a preliminary stage currently and the system can be expected to be introduced in a year’s time.
