Public EV charger network growing rapidly in India, Karnataka and Maharashtra on top


New Delhi . The number of public electric vehicle (EV) chargers installed so far in India has crossed 25,000.

In the information given by the government on Friday, it was said that the total number of public EV chargers in the country is 25,202.

After this, Maharashtra is at second place with 3,728 stations and Uttar Pradesh is at third place with 1,989 stations.

The Ministry of Heavy Industries (MHI) is promoting the adoption of electric vehicles in India.
