In the next three years, the Delhi government intends to undertake a pilot project to place 150 kerbside electric vehicle chargers on city streets before increasing the number to 5,000. In a review meeting on Thursday, the decision was made to move forward with installing 150 kerbside EV chargers throughout the city.
According to a release, the project is being led by the Delhi government think tank Dialogue and Development Commission (DDC), which has planned to install 150 kerbside EV chargers on 60 PWD roadside stretches throughout the city.
In the next three years, it stated, "the pilot project being developed by the DDC in conjunction with power discoms and PWD seeks to deploy more than 5,000 kerbside EV chargers across all major Delhi roadways."
Kerbside charging, which allows EVs to be charged while being parked on roadside kerbs themselves using either street light lamp posts or through dedicated charging poles, is an emerging concept worldwide.
According to the report, the government has made providing appropriate charging infrastructure for two- and three-wheeled vehicles, which make up approximately 67% of all vehicles registered in Delhi, a top priority.
According to DDC vice chairperson Jasmine Shah, Delhi is setting the standard for innovation and new technology by implementing EV charging stations for the general public on all main highways.
