Advancing the effort to build a robust E-vehicle charging infrastructure to enable adoption of Electric Vehicles, the South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) in a joint venture with Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL) under Union Ministry of Power, on Saturday launched its first electric vehicle public charging station in the SDMC parking area of Greater Kailash 1 N Block market.
While inaugurating, the Mayor Sunita Kangra said that the inauguration coincides with the National Energy Conservation Day being celebrated across the country.
She said that the electric public vehicle charging stations will hopefully boost sale of electric public vehicle and will contribute in decreasing pollution in Delhi.
“With commissioning of charging station in large number the dependence on the fossil fuel will decrease and environmental protection will get boost. Apart from this the acceptance of e-vehicles in the society will become high,” said Kangra.
