electric vehicle: Delhi Transport Minister aims to have one EV charging station within a 3-km range
"The most important target is to create a good network of charging stations. Delhi already has more than 2,000 charging stations. Around 100 charging stations are being created. We have a target of making a charging point available in a radius of three kilometres," the minister said during an interaction at the Delhi EV Forum organised here.

Asked what was holding back the sales of electric vehicles despite several awareness campaigns and incentives, Gahlot said a lot of people are not adopting EVs due to the range issue and the unavailability of charging stations along the highways or outside Delhi.
The range of an electric vehicle is the approximate distance it can cover on a single full charge.
"The range issue must be addressed by the manufacturers... comfortable range solutions should be provided," he said.
Gahlot said another reason behind the large number of people not adopting electric vehicles is that their cost is "slightly on the higher side."
