India to get over 800 new EV charging stations across 16 national highways

India is all set to get more than 800 electric vehicle charging stations soon. These EV charging stations will be installed along 16 national highways across the country to help electric car owners the ease of charging on the go. These charging stations are expected to be established in the next six to eight months. Setting up of these EV charging stations on national highways will also help reduce range anxiety among EV owners to some extent who are still sceptical about long drives on electric cars in India.
