APSPDCL to Set Up EV Charging Stations at 162 Locations

At a time when many consumers are hesitant to buy electric vehicles due to concerns about charging infrastructure availability, the Andhra Pradesh Southern Power Distribution Company Limited (APSPDCL) has proposed establishing EV public charging stations at 162 locations across its jurisdiction. 

The charging stations, equipped with 13 kW light EV AC/DC chargers, will be set up under the PM-E Drive initiative to support the state government’s



push for clean mobility and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, said APSPDCL chairman and managing director Siva Sankar Lotheti.

The proposal is part of APSPDCL’s broader strategic plan to emerge as the no. 1 power distribution company in India, focusing on reliable, affordable, and environmentally sustainable electricity services. 

The Discom is also accelerating renewable energy adoption and energy efficiency initiatives.
