Explanation :
- In a major decision to give a boost to Electric Vehicles (EV) in country, the government has approved amendments in Electric Vehicle Charging Guidelines and Specifications.
- These Revised Guidelines and Specifications for charging infrastructure shall supersede the earlier guidelines and standards issued by the Ministry of Power on 14.12.2018.
- A phase-wise installation of an appropriate network of Charging Infrastructure throughout the country has been envisaged in the Guidelines ensuring that at least one Charging Station should be available in a grid of 3 Km X 3 Km in the cities and one Charging Station at every 25 Km on both sides of highways/roads.
- In the first phase, all Mega Cities with population of 4 million plus as per census 2011, all existing expressways connected to these Mega Cities & important Highways connected with each of these Mega Cities may be taken up for coverage.
- In the second phase, big cities like State Capitals, UT headquarters may be covered for distributed and demonstrative effect.
- To address the concerns in inter-city travel and long range and/or heavy duty EVs, Fast Charging Station for long range and/or heavy duty EVs like buses/trucks etc., shall be installed at every 100 kms.
- Further, the guidelines specifies the type of chargers of different standards (viz. CCS, CHAdeMO, Type-2 AC, Bharat AC 001) thus ensuring that the public charging stations(PCS) owners have the freedom to install the chargers as per the market requirement.
