All 30 NHEV charging stations on Jaipur-Delhi and Noida-Agra e-highways would have 20 two-wheelers and 20 three-wheelers EV with swapping units, open for use with a mobile app subscription like Yulu
National Highway for EV (NHEV) Working Group members recently met Sudhendu J Sinha, Advisor (Infrastructure, Connectivity – Transport and Electric Mobility), NITI Aayog to discuss the policy for ‘Battery Swapping’ from Ease of Doing Business perspective of their stakeholders, according to a report from ANI.
The meeting discussed battery standardisation and the need to start a prototype. All 30 NHEV charging stations on Jaipur-Delhi and Noida-Agra e-highways would have 20 two-wheelers and 20 three-wheelers EV with swapping units, open for use with a mobile app subscription like Yulu.
Tourists will be able to use these two-wheelers to tour Mathura, Vrindavan, Agra, Jaipur. These bikes would have to be returned after use.
During the meeting, Abhijeet Sinha, Project Director of National Highway for Electric Vehicles said, “This is our 2nd prototype station constructed in record 30-day time for Delhi-Jaipur E-Highway, 2 more stations of same size and scale will be installed in Noida within 60 days for Delhi-Agra E-Highway which will conclude the prototype modelling of Ehubs. 30 more E-Highway charging stations will be constructed within a record time of 90 days from their date of allocations to PSUs/Private entities.”
Sinha also said that “these charging stations are commercially and technically competing with petrol pumps now with 72 per cent utilisation and 36-month breakeven with increased capacity to charge 1000 cars at this station and 576 cars at Sect 52 station. These simple prototypes have proved that e-highway stations of NHEV will be world-class and draw a strong commercial roadmap of Emobility on Indian highways”.
