Centre eyes EV charge infra boost on 74 key highways, asks states, NHAI to prep
The Centre has asked state governments and the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) to fast-track electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure across 74 priority highway corridors, according to two people aware of the development and a document reviewed by Mint. The move aims to address a key bottleneck in the adoption of electric buses and trucks in India, The fear of running out of battery charge on longer routes, commonly referred to as ‘range anxiety’, is seen as a key deterrent to EV adoption.
