Paving the way in which for sustainable dealing with of used batteries of electrical autos, Bescom is about to fee the nation’s first rooftop-enabled second-life battery-backed EV-charging station within the metropolis. The pilot mission, involving used batteries of EVs, will quickly come up close to Kempegowda Worldwide Airport (KIA) and is more likely to be opened to the general public by the top of Sept.
The brand new centre will facilitate charging 23 electrical autos with a capability of 400 kW, providing each quick and common charging services.

If there are not any autos, the generated energy shall be fed to the grid. As Bengaluru is witnessing a surge in EV utilization, vitality minister KJ George has been very specific about creating charging infrastructure and as per his steerage, this photo voltaic vitality station has been deliberate,” stated Mahantesh Bilagi, MD of Bescom.In keeping with senior engineers at Bescom, the plant is developing on a 560 sq metre space alongside the principle street, the place Bescom has its 224 kV sub-station. “On the station, we’re offering 5 mixed charging techniques (CCS-2) with a capability of fifty kW together with 4 DC-001 chargeINR of 30 kW capability and two type-2 chargeINR of seven.5 kW capability. Apart from, there shall be one AC-001 kind 3.3 kW charger,” defined Vijay Rao, AGM, Bescom.
The pilot mission, in collaboration with the government of India, GIZ India, Bosch, and Nunam, will additional add to the charging infrastructure capability that Bescom at the moment manages. Already, Bescom is main the nation with 5,765 public EV charging stations. Out of those, Bengaluru City alone has 4,462 charging stations.
Residents can avail the charging facility by downloading EV Mitra app on their mobiles. “Whereas the DC charging will price INR 7.56 per unit, the AC charging will price INR 7.76 per unit,” one other Bescom engineer stated.
