The Power Ministry on Monday issued an amendment in charging infrastructure guidelines and standards for electric vehicles.
The ministry said that the public charging stations would be required to have the prepaid collection of service charges feature that would mention the time of day rate as well as discount for solar hours.
A Central Electricity Authority committee would recommend the ceiling limit of service charges that could be levied to the state government.
The committee would also recommend “time of the day rate” for service charges and discount would be given for charging during solar hours, the ministry said.
“Till now our AIS did not go to cell level. It is the cells which make the battery. So to ensure safety at the fundamental level, we have to have standards at the cell level.
