Across the Bengaluru-Chennai highway through Old Madras Road, BESCOM is establishing charging infrastructure in places like Hoskote, Kolar, Mulbagal, and Nangali.
On the Bengaluru-Mysuru highway, the charging station will be installed in Ramanagara.
BESCOM officials have submitted a proposal to the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) to install charging stations at ten toll plazas.
The initiative intends to facilitate convenient and accessible charging infrastructure for EV owners running on the busy Bengaluru - Pune highway.
The official says to establish two charging stations powered with 120 KW CCS2 EV fast chargers at each toll plaza.
The plan for installing charging stations at toll plazas in places such as Tumakuru, Hiriyur, Chitradurga, Davanagere, Belagavi, and more, has been submitted to NHAI.
Toll plazas facilitate proper lighting and security, diminishing the requirement for motorists to charge their vehicles in isolated and poorly lit areas. This will also ease the range anxiety amongst EV users.
In Bengaluru, there are already enough charging stations, thus, the main concern is the lack of charging infrastructure on highways.
Most of the electric cars have a battery range of around 250-300 km when fully charged so more charging stations on highways will boost more people to shift to EVs.
Moreover, work on the EV charging hub within the allowance of Kempegowda International Airport has also started.
A total of 20 EVs will facilitate fast charging simultaneously at the hub. Siddartha Civil Infra Limited is working and is one of the largest EV charging hubs in the city. There is a surge in demand for charging points at the airport because of the rising number of electric cabs/vehicles.
