Kejriwal launches 140 charging points, 48 battery swapping stations
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has inaugurated 140 new public charging points and 48 battery-swapping stations in the city. At an event held in GTB Nagar, the Delhi CM launched 42 new ultra-low-cost charging stations across the city.
During the inauguration, Kejriwal highlighted the significant difference in commuting costs between traditional fossil fuel vehicles and EVs. “While driving a petrol scooter costs approximately Rs 1.75 per kilometer, an EV scooter only costs 7 paise per kilometer. Similarly, a petrol car costs Rs 7 per kilometer, whereas an EV car costs only 36 paise per kilometer.
These figures demonstrate the substantial savings that EV owners can enjoy while contributing to a greener and cleaner Delhi. With the addition of these 42 ultra-low-cost charging stations, Delhi now boasts a total of 53 locations equipped with cutting-edge EV charging infrastructure,” he said. Kejriwal said that the Delhi was leading the way towards a future dominated by EVs, showcasing rapid progress in aligning with global sustainability goals.
