Where are the charging points looking
GHMC has chosen shopping malls, multiplexes, market areas and other busy public places for these charging stations. Each charging unit will have both high-speed 15 kW and slow charging 122-150 kW facilities where two vehicles can be charged simultaneously. All units will be operated with renewable energy. These charging points will be installed on a revenue sharing model by GHMC and TGREDCO. Also, CCTV cameras will be installed on each unit to prevent incidents of theft.
