Key Takeaways
New Delhi, April 3 (NationPress) The National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) has launched the most extensive EV charging hub within the Namo Bharat Rapid Rail corridor at Anand Vihar station, marking a significant step towards sustainable transportation in the Delhi-NCR region.
This initiative is designed to offer considerable support to electric vehicle owners, facilitating easier access to charging facilities.
The newly inaugurated charging station is equipped with 10 high-capacity fast-charging units, collectively boasting a power output of 480 kW. Notably, this setup allows for the simultaneous charging of 10 electric vehicles.
Utilizing advanced technology, the chargers can recharge four-wheeled vehicles to about 80% in merely 30 minutes.
Additionally, dedicated charging points are available for heavy-duty electric commercial vehicles.
To streamline the charging process, users can leverage the 'Electrify' mobile app, which enables vehicle owners to register, reserve charging slots online, and track their vehicle's charging status in real-time.
Digital payment methods are integrated into the app, ensuring a seamless and transparent charging experience.
This initiative by NCRTC aligns with the Delhi government's goal to enhance the installation of EV charging hubs throughout the city, as it aims to transition to an entirely electric bus fleet. Recently, the DTC issued tenders for the installation of EV chargers at three major bus depots: Kashmiri Gate, Sarai Kale Khan, and Anand Vihar.
The launch of the facility at Anand Vihar Station brings the total number of EV charging services at Namo Bharat stations to eight, including Sahibabad, Guldhar, Duhai, Muradnagar, Modinagar South, Modinagar North, and Meerut South.
Both rapid and standard charging infrastructures have been established at these locations, providing significant advantages for commuters traveling to Namo Bharat stations in their personal electric vehicles.
The NCRTC's initiative not only supports commuters in charging their vehicles conveniently but also plays a vital role in advancing national objectives related to pollution reduction and sustainable development.
Future plans include extending similar charging facilities to other stations, further enhancing clean energy transportation options in the region.
