EVs are the future. This is justified by the exponentially growing number of EV sales all around the globe.

However, the same pattern is not noticed in India. People here are still reluctant to go for an EV instead of a conventional vehicle. 

The main reason behind it is that we don’t have a strong EV infrastructure yet to accommodate EVs properly.

Among the available options, some either don’t have proper accommodation for all types of EVs, or they are located at locations people aren’t generally aware of.

Let’s understand the steps that one needs to follow to set up an electric vehicle charging station in India and then decode why still there aren’t as many EV charging stations as there should have been.
