In a major step in spreading the use of green energy, India’s first electric vehicle (EV) charging station was started here on Sunday by Indian Oil Corp , according to the state-run oil marketing company.
Indian Oil has partnered with cab aggregator Ola to set up the charging station at an IOC petrol pump here.
“Nagpur, being the first city to introduce the electric public transportation model in India, has added one more feather to its cap by by adding the first electric charging station at Indian Oil’s COCO (company-owned, company-operated) fuel station in the city,” an IOC release said.
“We applaud Ola for building the electric vehicle eco-system from a nascent stage in Nagpur and are happy to partner with them in their efforts,” IOC Executive Director (Maharashtra) Murali Srinivasan said in a statement.
