Green milestone: In 3 years, BSES installs over 1,000 electric vehicle charging points in Delhi
NEW DELHI: More than three years after setting up Delhi’s first “smart” public electric vehicle (EV) charging system in south Delhi, BSES discoms have achieved a new milestone of facilitating the installation of more than 1,000 EV charging points in the national capital.
Since the launch of the Delhi EV policy in August 2020 by chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, the city has seen a significant rise in the sale of EVs, which currently account for around 10% of all vehicle registrations in the national capital.
A BSES official said that the discoms are also playing a major role in the promotion of the EV sector. He said that from launching Delhi’s first smart EV charging point in south Delhi, followed by the second one in east Delhi, BSES has facilitated the installation of 1,083 charging points at around 450 locations.
