The Delhi government plans to construct public electric vehicle charging stations in at least 10 existing cluster bus depots in the national capital in a bid to push the people to shift to e-vehicles.

Each of these charging stations will have around six charging points, four for cars and two for two-wheelers. These charging stations may also have slow charging points and a battery swapping system.

Some of the cluster depots where the charging stations will come are Kair Depot, Dichaon Kalan, Raj Ghat, Rani Khera I, II and III, Bawana, Kanjhawala, Chattarpur, Rewla Khanpur and others. Charging stations will also be set up in 70 metro stations, said officials.
