KOLKATA: Hidco, in collaboration with a private agency, inaugurated one of the largest fast-charging electric vehicle charging station hub in New Town on Monday evening. Around 25-30 EVs will be able to charge at the hub—at the same time. Spread over 1,150 sqm, the facility has been set up near Biswa Bangla Convention Centre.
“The hub will especially help electric cab operators charge their vehicles,” said an official, adding the facility was open to private EVs, too. Hidco allotted the land to the private agency, which installed the charging stations and will also operate the hub.
NKDA is working on installing and operating 10 EV charging stations across New Town on its own.
