Convergence Energy Services Ltd (CESL) will set up 810 electric vehicle charging stations across 16 highways and expressways covering 10,275 kilometres across the country. CESL, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Energy Efficiency Services Ltd (EESL) under the Ministry of Power has discovered prices for setting up 810 electric vehicle charging stations (EVCSs), a statement said.<\/p>\n
The selected corridors include busy routes such as the Mumbai-Pune highway, Ahmedabad-Vadodara Highway, Delhi-Agra Yamuna Expressway, Eastern Peripheral Expressway, Hyderabad ORR Expressway, and Agra-Nagpur Highway to name a few, as per the statement.<\/p>\n
CESL is using a service procurement model for setting up these charging stations.<\/p>\n
In this public-private-partnership model, CESL will partner with companies whose job will be to invest in and operate these charging stations across the expressways and highways.<\/p>\n
These charging stations are expected to be established in the next 6-8 months.<\/p>\n
Putting up charging infrastructure on highways is part of the FAME-II scheme administered by the Ministry of Heavy Industries.<\/p>\n
These electric vehicle charging stations will be designed to cater to both private and public vehicles including ones on the roads today — such as Hyundai Kona, Tata Nexon EV, MG ZS EV and other compatible EVs and e-buses.<\/p>\n
Providing fast DC connectors, CESL will install 590 chargers of 50kW capacity and 220 chargers of higher 100kW capacity.<\/p>\n
The chargers with 50kW capacity will be available every 25 kilometres and the 100kW chargers every 100 kilometres.<\/p>\n
This tender has achieved the government’s vision to blend subsidy with investment and encourage private investment in the charging stations business.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
