CHENNAI: The first electric vehicle (EV) friendly highway in Southern India with 10 fuel stations along the 900-km route on the Chennai-Trichy-Madurai highway was launched by Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) on Thursday. It will soon be followed up on key routes which have high traffic and a propensity for transition to travel by electric vehicles.
Speaking at the launch of the state-of-the-art fuel station at Meenambakkam, executive director in-charge (Retail) BPCL PS Ravi said the launch of the EV fast-charging stations in large format fuel stations on the Chennai-Trichy-Madurai highway, each at a distance of about 100 km, is the beginning of eliminating range anxiety among existing and future four-wheel EV owners in India.
