KSEB Revises EV Charging Station Metering, Billing Procedures
The electricity board in Kerala is updating how they measure and charge for electricity at electric car charging stations that use solar power.
They're introducing new billing based on time of day.
The board also suggests that charging stations could use big batteries (BESS) to store solar energy to use later.
These changes come from rules set by the Kerala State Electricity Regulatory Commission.
This helps manage energy and encourage more electric car use.
KSEB revised metering and billing procedures for EV charging stations.
The changes apply to stations equipped with solar power plants.
New procedures implement time zone-based billing.
KSEB suggests installing Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).
Procedures based on a clarification by the Kerala State Electricity Regulatory Commission.
