BHEL Commissions Five Solar-Based EV Charging Stations on Delhi-Chandigarh Highway

Bharat Heavy Electricals (BHEL) has announced that it  has commissioned a network of solar-based electric vehicle chargers (SEVC) on the Delhi-Chandigarh highway.

The five charging stations are located at Haryana Tourism Corporation's resorts at Ambala, Kurukshetra, Karnal, Panipat, and Samalkha (Sonepat) on the Delhi-Chandigarh highway.

“Each SEVC station will be equipped with a rooftop solar power plant to supply green energy and EV chargers,” BHEL said in its press release.

The setting up of EV chargers has been done at regular intervals over the entire 250-kilometer stretch between Delhi and Chandigarh.

As part of the project, BHEL has also established a central monitoring system for EV chargers with a user-friendly mobile application.

The project is roofed under the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of (Hybrid) & Electric Vehicles in India scheme of the Department of Heavy Industry.
