Twenty Percent Parking Space To Be Designated for E- Vehicles
Jan 14, 2019 Legal Guidance
The green environment, clean environment agenda has taken a new spot in the last few years. With more and more people choosing to buy battery operated vehicles to save the environment from CO2 emission that contributes to pollution. Even the government is supporting the move, and the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs recently issued a guideline for the developers. Both the commercial as well as residential complexes will now have to dedicated space for the e-vehicles charging facilities.
According to the guidelines, the charging facilities will be based on the rate of occupancy on the particular type of building. It is estimated that the general requirement is around 20 percent in the buildings for the charging point for the e-vehicles. The designated area will be able to provide charging for both two wheeler and four wheeler vehicles. The developers will also have to make sure that all the charging points will be able to provide electricity simultaneously, which may cause them to add extra load.
The primary question was for the billing of such vehicles. The government gave the solution to the issue as well. If a permanent resident is using an e- vehicle, then their bill for charging will be added to their monthly electricity bill. They will be provided with smart cards in which will credit their perspective units. For the visitors, the building will have to deliver on spot billing with open metering system.
In December 2018, the ministry issued the guidelines for the public charging stations and asked the stations to install both the Japanese and European charging platforms. The instructions also suggested that the charging stations must be set up every 3 kilometres in cities while every 25-kilometers on the highways.
Last year, the power ministry launched the national electric mobility programme aimed at creating the charging infrastructure and framework that seeks to have more than 30 percent electric vehicles by the end of 2030. The programme will be implemented by the Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL) will replace the existing fleet of petrol and diesel vehicles.
The global impact is taking over the country as well. People are using more energy efficient devices and are willing to invest in energy efficient vehicles a chance. Currently, with the lack of charging points available, the buyers cannot use their e vehicles to the full potential. With the government aiming to provide charging point with every few kilometres or so, it is expected to give the e-vehicle industry a significant rise.
