Kevadia to have first area with only e-vehicles

A day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s announcement on World Environment Day that Kevadia will be turned into an Electric Vehicle City, the Statue of Unity Area Development and Tourism Governance Authority (SOUADTGA) on Sunday said that it will develop the “country’s first electric vehicles-only area” in Kevadia.

Sharing details of the micro-level planning to implement the e-vehicle project, the authority said the area will only have battery-operated vehicles as part of joint efforts to reduce pollution.

A release from SOUADTGA stated, “With the decision of the Prime Minister to turn Kevadia into an electric vehicle city, the area of the Statue of Unity will become the first in the entire country to have only electric vehicles.
