Strategically chosen sites include PWD rest houses, Jal Shakti rest houses, and government offices. This initiative aims to support the increase in government EVs and promote eco-friendly transportation.

As 4,997 EVs have already been registered, and 500 more are being added under the e-taxi scheme, the state has also marked six highways as green corridors, setting up the infrastructure to meet the growing demand for EV charging stations.
