BEST to set up 330 public EV charging stations in Mumbai.

BEST has announced plans to install 330 public EV charging stations in Mumbai. Charging stations will be set up at the 27 BEST charging depots across Mumbai. Work on setting up these stations has already commenced. The stations will be used for charging BEST’s electric buses and can be used by general public as well. BEST is looking to increase its electric bus fleet to serve the expanding Mumbai Metro rail network. BEST GM Lokesh Chandra said, “Metro & bus services will be complementary. The metro can take you till its station, but the last mile connectivity will be provided by buses.”
