BSES discoms BRPL and BYPL have facilitated the installation of around 2,300 charging points in Delhi for electric vehicles (EVs) and are in the process to set up 900 more in the coming months. The 2300 charging points installed at over 900 locations across south, east, central and west Delhi include 1,123 private ones, 745 public and 419 for captive BSES use, the officials said.
The company is in talks with several partners to expand the charging infrastructure further, they said. “BSES will facilitate the installation of additional 900-plus charging points over the next few months,” an official said, adding BSES discoms aim to convert their entire fleet of vehicles to EVs by 2030.
According to officials, the EV charging infrastructure facilitated by BSES includes over 1123 private charging points, 745 public charging points, and 419 captive charging points for in-house use. This infrastructure will go a long way in promoting the use of EVs and reducing carbon emissions in Delhi.
BSES is also making significant strides in converting its own fleet of vehicles to EVs. Currently, BSES has deployed over 80 EVs for its in-house use, including cars, 3-wheelers, e-rickshaws, 2-wheelers, and even a pick-up truck. Over the next two years, the fleet of EVs in BSES’ fleet is expected to increase to around 150.
