Indian Oil Corporation setting up charging stations for EVs Petrol Pump
From Indian Oil Corporation, which opened its first battery spring station for electric vehicles inside Kolkata on Monday. So friends, you know that Oil is a big company, it deals in oil, it is a PSU and is inside the New Town area.
They have opened this battery spring station. This work was done in a collaboration with Sun Mobility and the vehicles that run inside which the batteries can be removed and swapped are available here. These can be game changers for mainly two-wheelers and three-wheelers and are a significant opportunity to promote sustainable electric mobility solutions. It is said that more battery shopping stations will be installed within the coming few months.
Setting up 10,000 energy EV charging stations in the next three years. In the sense 2,000 will come right from October to next October. We put up 2,000, and then 8,000 in the next two years. So, this is a major step that we want to announce today. And as we go down, my colleague Mr. Mucked, who is in charge of the retail transformation, will actually give you the roadmap.
How we intend to do it and where do we intend to have these 10,000 electric vehicle charging stations. So, that will come subsequently. But before that, I just want to tell you about the other green initiatives that Indian Oil has already taken. See, fossil fuels will continue to play a dominant role, that is without a doubt. But we need to give that extra Phillip to the ambitions of the Prime Minister and the commitment the country has made. So, this electric charging station I think is a small step, a small step by Indian Oil.
But it will be a giant leap for the EV system. The entire EV system, EV ecosystem I should say, will get totally enhanced because that will give confidence to the manufacturers to manufacture the vehicles, the electric charging system, electric charging mechanism. And it will also give that range anxiety which is always there in the customers. So, these 10,000 charging stations will give a great relief to the buyers.
