Kailash Gahlot will also inaugurate two EV chargers!
On Monday, the Delhi Government will launch the Residential EV Charging Guidebook. It will be launched today to simplify and enable the adoption of EV charging in all types of residential areas in the city.
The guidebook details the importance of EV charging, the processes involved in planning, installing, and managing EV charging stations in the parking space of the societies. It also addresses common concerns such as lack of space, capital investment, power load management, etc.
As per an official statement, The Dialogue and Development Commission of Delhi, in collaboration with World Resources Institute, India will launch the guidebook. The information also stated that Delhi Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot will also inaugurate two EV chargers at Pockets B & C, Vasant Kunj, installed under the Delhi government's single-window facility.
According to the statement, it said that through the guidebook, the Delhi government seeks to encourage all residential societies, planned colonies, DDA flats, Cooperative Group Housing Societies, government housing societies, and employer housing to join hands with it in promoting electric vehicles by adopting EV charging in their residential societies.
By launching this step-by-step guidebook, the Delhi government will become the first state government in India to make RWAs and residential areas an integral part of the EV movement. This guidebook will facilitate that journey and enable the people of Delhi to access EV charging points in colonies all over Delhi.
The Delhi government announced the Delhi Electric Vehicle Policy in August 2020, with a vision to promote the adoption of electric vehicles in the city and to make Delhi the EV capital of India. The policy aims to improve Delhi’s air quality by driving the transition to electric vehicles so that 25% of all new vehicle registrations in the city can be those of EVs by 2024.
