India is electrifying but what about the charging points?

The government of India has made a concerted effort to decarbonise its transport system. A female E2W user in Chennai said: “Even if I go to the mall for charging, the charging points are located in the parking area where there are no lights, security, or other people around. The charging points in Chennai were rated as poor on all four indicators whereas those in Delhi rated poor on ease of locating the charging points and security, satisfactory on charging infrastructure and network connectivity and very poor on amenities. As per the Bureau of Energy Efficiency, Chennai has 151 public charging points, whereas Delhi has 2,452 charging points as per the Switch Delhi website. Somehow, I managed to make it back home, but it was a nightmare for me.” Amenities The charging points in Chennai and Delhi lacked amenities such as seating, shaded waiting areas, drinking water, and toilets.
