NEW DELHI : The Arvind Kejriwal government in Delhi on Sunday appealed to malls, hotels, corporate houses, cinema halls, and market complexes operating in the national capital to install charging stations for electric vehicles (EVs) inside their premises. The minister claimed that with 72 charging stations already operational in the capital city, Delhi has the highest number of charging stations for EVs than in any Indian city. Gahlot said the "Delhi government is in the process of setting up additional 100 EV charging stations with a total of 500 charging points in the next six months". The Delhi minister said the Kejriwal government plans to set up EV charging stations on every three kilometres. The charging rates for EVs, which are lower than commercial rates, will apply to these which is a big relief for Delhiites who want to install charging points, the minister said.
