Xavier’s Institute of Engineering becomes first institution in Mumbai to install EV chargers
The Xavier’s Institute of Engineering in Mahim, Mumbai has become the first educational institution in the city to install electrical vehicle (EV) chargers.
The charging facilities on the campus already seem to be working as 3-4 staff members have already shifted to electric scooters while a couple more have booked their electric cars. The institute believes if it manages to successfully shift the regular population on campus — roughly around 1,200 — to electric vehicles, it would be a significant contribution to saving the earth.
“We are a Jesuit institute and it is among our mandates to care for the environment. Ours happens to be an engineering institute and it was imperative for us to brainstorm over energy alternatives and how we can bring about changes on the campus.
