The MoP has issued an amendment to the revised consolidated guidelines and standards for charging infrastructure for electric vehicles issued by the ministry on January 14, 2022. As per the amendment, the public charging stations will have the feature of prepaid collection of service charges with time-of-day (ToD) rates and discount for solar hours. Further, a committee under the Central Electricity Authority will periodically recommend to the state government the ceiling limit of service charges to be levied. This committee will also recommend the ToD rate for service charges as well as the discount to be given for charging during solar hours.
