Nashik’s Municipality Picks 28 Sites To Setup EV Charging Stations

 


The Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) has chosen 28 areas around the city where the electric vehicle (EV) charging stations will be installed in order to stimulate the sale of EVs.

Municipal commissioner Kailas Jadhav stated that the municipality will provide the property on lease for 25 years to companies that will install EV charging stations. The companies will have to cover the costs of setting up the charging stations.

To encourage the usage of EVs, the state government has already implemented an EV policy, and several steps have been taken by Jadhav that lead to promoting electric vehicles in the city.

The civic authority recently issued an ordinance requiring EV charging stations in all residential societies with 25 or more apartments, with one EV charging station for every 25 flats.

Furthermore, during a recent meeting, the NMC’s general body approved the city municipal administration’s request to purchase electric and CNG vehicles in the future for its various departments’ utilities

Currently, the NMC operates a variety of vehicles, including garbage vans, cars, a mobile clinic, suction machines, and a hydraulic platform that run on either diesel or petrol. However, depending on availability, the municipal management will now purchase either electric or CNG automobiles.

Lithium battery business training

  Some dramatically different approaches to EV batteries could see progress in 2023, though they will likely take longer to make a commercial impact. One advance to keep an eye on this year is in so-called solid-state batteries. Lithium-ion batteries and related chemistries use a liquid electrolyte that shuttles charge around; solid-state batteries replace this liquid with ceramics or other solid materials.  At the same time, concerns about supplies of key battery materials like cobalt and lithium are pushing a search for alternatives to the standard lithium-ion chemistry.  In the midst of the soaring demand for EVs and renewable power and an explosion in battery development, one thing is certain: batteries will play a key role in the transition to renewable energy. Here’s what to expect in 2023. The global battery value chain, like others within industrial manufacturing, faces significant environmental, social, and governance (ESG) challenges Environmental:  The ex...
