Delhi to add 7,000 EV charging points

The Delhi government is planning to add 7,000 new electric vehicle (EV) charging points and 100 battery swapping stations this year.

This is to help reduce pollution and make it easier for people to use electric vehicles.

Currently, Delhi has 8,849 charging points, but it needs 36,150.

The government has set targets to add these points in four parts throughout the year.

The Delhi Metro and the new Rapid Transit System will also add more charging points.

There are already 893 battery swapping stations, and the government plans to add more to reach the required number.

Delhi is doing well in using electric vehicles, with 83,423 electric vehicles registered in the last year.

This includes different types of vehicles like two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and public transport.
