Electric vehicles have become the new norm in the world. Many countries are rapidly adopting this new tech of running vehicles with electricity. Day by Day electric vehicles production and sales are improving exponentially. To satisfy the demand for electric vehicles, many electric vehicle production companies have come to the rescue. The trend of electric vehicles is already going on and is expected to boom in the future.
Soon every home in the country will possess an electric vehicle. Compare to traditional vehicles, electric vehicles have many advantages for users. Advantages like low maintenance, no petrol, easy to charge, and long-running batteries. All these advantages are attracting and enticing users to get their hands on these devices. However, a major concern for every owner of electric vehicles is the lack of infrastructure for E-charging, especially on highways.
Previously, many electric vehicle owners raised their concerns about this. Even Elon Musk also raised concerns regarding this issue with the government. Interestingly, governments also encouraging people to use electric vehicles. To support this, the government even offered concessions and tax benefits for electric vehicle owners. Now, NHAI has taken another initiative to make things easy for electric vehicle owners.
Soon, electric vehicles owners can travel long distances without any hassle. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has taken the initiative to make things smoother and hassle-free for electric vehicle owners. On Saturday it has announced that it will install charging stations every 40 to 60 kilometers on National Highways.
Based on the reports, NHAI is expecting to cover close to 35000 to 40000, with charging stations by 2023. This means in the coming two years, nearly 700 stations will be installed. Not only this, the NHAI has expected to bring more facilities for the public.
The NHAI chairman Giridhar Aramane informed the news. Along with charging stations, we can witness the installation of toilets, driver’s resting rooms, restaurants, and petrol dispensing machines, and more.
NHAI official also informed that we have bid out 100 wayside amenities and got a crazy response. Which means there is heavy competition for getting the deal. If your NHAI awards the bids, then the work will be expected to be started as soon as possible. All these facilities will make the vehicles owners’ journey effortless on highways.
People don’t have to freak out if the vehicle breaks down or faces any problem on highways. Especially for electric owners, the main problem is the lack of charging stations on highways. Luckily, that problem will be addressed soon. With nearly 700 charging stations spread across 40000 km, electric vehicle owners will have the best long drive experience.
Currently, electric vehicles are making buzz not only in India but also globally. Both government and private companies are showing great enthusiasm in supporting E-infrastructure. Soon we will witness a heavy production of electric vehicles in the country. Already production and sales of electric vehicles are in a great momentum. Industry experts and users are rapidly adapting to this new norm of E-vehicles.
