New Delhi, Jan 17 (UNI) Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) will set up a network of Solar-based Electric Vehicle Chargers (SEVC) on the Delhi-Chandigarh Highway.

The establishment of EV chargers at regular intervals over the entire 250 kms stretch between Delhi and Chandigarh would allay range-anxiety among the electric vehicle users and bolster their confidence for inter-city travel.

BHEL’s scope of work in the project includes design, engineering, manufacturing, supply and installation of the EV charging stations along with a Central Monitoring System.

Each SEVC charging station will be equipped with a rooftop solar power plant to supply green energy to fast and slow chargers planned to be installed at the location.

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