EV Charging infrastructure:
BCPL has taken up a major decision to combat the barrier to EV adoption in India with the announcement of PAN India charging station installation in its fuel pumps. Seems like the company is slowly moving towards a greener alternative to mobility i.e electric vehicles. Major petrol pump providers in India have realized that the future of mobility is electric, so they are now focussing to become CPOs.
Major sites for Ev station installation in India are:
- Highways
- Petrol Pump premises
- Residential Complexes
- Cafe/Hotels
- Tea gardens
- Office premises
