Solar Hours, ToD Tariffs Critical for Decarbonizing EV Charging

Solar Hours, ToD Tariffs Critical for Decarbonizing EV Charging

Imagine electric cars like big batteries that need to charge.

To help make this cleaner, India is trying to use solar power for these cars.

They are using special prices called ToD tariffs, offering cheaper electricity during the day when the sun shines.

Some places also offer 'green tariffs' using renewable sources.

However, most people charge their cars at night, which might be more expensive.

To solve this, they need to find out when and how people charge their cars to make sure everyone can charge their cars affordably with clean energy.
