EV owners at breaking point over private charging points in Bengaluru
Confusion and disputes have arisen among residents with the Urban Development Department (UDD) failing to clarify the process to install private electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in apartment complexes.
Though several housing societies have installed common charging points, residents have been demanding a legal framework since EVs take a long time to charge.
In the absence of specific guidelines on private charging facilities, the Energy Department recently wrote to the UDD to evolve suitable action by amending building bylaws. The letter follows queries by legal firms over lack of clarity on installing electrical sockets in designated parking spaces by residents owning EVs.
