The Delhi government has decided that all its office buildings will have electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, state transport minister Kailash Gahlot said on Wednesday.
The announcement comes at a time the government intends to make Delhi the country’s “EV Capital”. To this effect, chief minister Arvind Kejriwal also notified the Delhi EV policy, which mandates that electric vehicles will have to account for 25% of all new vehicle registrations by 2024.
“The Delhi government has decided that electric vehicle charging stations will now be installed in all its offices in the city. The general public, in addition to government employees, will be able to charge their vehicles here. People will be able to charge their vehicles while working in government offices. Along with this, electric vehicles will motivate government officials and employees to come to work,” said Gahlot.
