Establishing a Future-Proof Ecosystem

The EV policies are generally made to eradicate the range anxiety as the state is making it compulsory to install charging stations at every 25 Km interval along the highway. For urban commuters, all new residential must be developed with 100% of the parking spaces to support EV charging. Meanwhile, commercial buildings will need to allocate at least 50% of the total parking spaces to EV charging. 

Maharashtra has also introduced a ‘Digital Battery Passport’ to track the make and manufacturing of the EV battery which also includes real-time health status, and end-of-life diagnostics.
