Electric vehicles are the future of mobility, However, there are quite a few hindrances that block the process of EV conversion in India. One such issue is the lack of availability and access to EV charging stations in the country.
Currently, there are only a few cities that provide EV charging stations. One could only hope for an infrastructure that caters to the new mobility solution across the country. However, the government has done a great job by introducing many incentives to promote the sales of EV and increase EV customers in the country. The lack of enough EV infrastructure is an issue that has been bothering many. Do note that the country has many EV infrastructures but the issue is that there are not enough EV charging points.
At this juncture, TVS Motor Company and Convergence Energy Services Ltd. (CESL) have confirmed that they are planning to set up EV charging stations across India under this strategic partnership.
