The Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) has set up 12 EV charging stations in Navi Mumbai in response to the growing popularity of electric vehicles (EVs). The cost of charging has been kept below what is charged at privately owned EV charging stations. It is conveniently located on major thoroughfares for drivers. A rise in demand for EV charging stations in the city preceded the development.
“We want to ensure that motorists have easy access at economical rates to charge their electric vehicles. There are plans to set up several more charging stations in the city,” Rajaram Mane, MSEDCL Vashi division superintendent engineer, said.
The charging stations have been installed at the substation at Raghuleela Mall in sector 30 near Vashi railway station, Kharghar substation at sector 2, substation at sector 19E near Galleria mall on Palm Beach road, Vashi, sector 15 Airoli substation, Pawane MIDC, sector 8 Rabale MIDC substation, Indira Nagar central road, near Lubrizol company in Turbhe, Tapal Naka in Panvel-Uran road, sector 50 in Seawoods, sector 9 Palm Beach road Nerul and in sector 15 of CBD Belapur.
