Senior officials say that their target is to provide
at least one station in an area of 3 sqkm so that people owning electric
vehicles are incentivised. South Delhi Municipal Corporation has
identified 75 locations for creating charging infrastructure, the north
corporation has finalised 127 such charging points and the east
corporation has shortlisted 93 locations for creating charging stations.
In a city hard hit by pollution, electric vehicles are a necessity and a boon. But without proper infrastructure, few would be enthused to shift to these environment-friendly vehicles. The decision to have more charging points will surely encourage prospective buyers. It also makes life easier for those who already have one.
