On Thursday, the Delhi government launches a website portal to provide all the required information on EV. The website provides information on the number of charging stations, the location of charging stations, and the specification of chargers.
The major reason behind the launch of this website is to provide a user-friendly and easily accessible source for all the electric vehicle-related information for the masses, which otherwise is available in a scattered form over the internet.

The Delhi government, under the leadership of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, wanted to give a user-friendly, interactive, and resourceful platform to the public and EV enthusiasts especially.

Taking about this feature, Ghalot said, “ It enables buyers to make a rational choice and identify the cost-effective benefit of shifting to EVs,”
The vehicle features panel offers buyers basic information on all the available EV models to choose from. Information is provided on the battery, pricing, and range of a particular variant.
The website contains the information of:
- EV models and manufacturers in the Delhi.
- Location of nearby EV charging stations and facility
- Specification of an EV charger.
- Price, Range, and brand of specific EV.
- Growing data of EV charging infrastructure.

The database of the website is likely to be updated by the Transport Department of Delhi, which will provide real-time figures on the number of EV buyers in the state.
