Lahore to get Hundreds of EV charging stations

LAHORE: At least 241 locations have been marked by the Lahore Transport Company (LTC) to set up electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in Lahore.

The initiative aims to promote environment-friendly transportation as the air pollution in the winter worsens in the City.

Key spots for the installation of the charging points have been identified within the dense parking areas in Lahore, according to the reports.

A formal submission of the proposal has been submitted to the Board of Revenue, asking for the land allocation and approval for the project.

A rigorous survey is now conducted to ensure that the stations are located in accessible and practical areas. In response to the suggestion, a senior member of the Board of Revenue urged the LTC to commence urgent site identification and pledged that land would be granted on a priority basis.

In the first phase, the initiative plans to install charging stations for 1,100 electric vehicles around Lahore. LTC, which manages the city’s public transit bus system, was founded to bring together numerous transportation businesses under one tent to provide high-quality, safe, efficient, and ecologically friendly public transportation.

With this new initiative, the company is making a substantial contribution to promoting the usage of electric cars and lowering urban pollution in the provincial capital.
