Space remains the biggest constraint to establish charging stations in the city, which has prompted Bescom to zero in on its own office buildings across the city to set up infrastructure and embrace the public private partnership (PPP) mode to expand it further.
As the nodal agency, Bangalore Electricity Supply Company Limited (Bescom) sees itself spearheading the push for electric vehicle (EV) adoption.
The EV wing of the company has established 136 charging stations till now, of which 126 were supported by the transport department.
Unlike conventional vehicles which get their full tank of fuel in less than a minute or two, EVs take anywhere between 45 minutes and 6 hours, depending on the size of the battery.
