It is a fast charging station, where it can take up to 45 minutes to fully charge a car,” said Ankit Zaveri, the CEO of AeroCare Clean Energy, which, along with the BMC, Dept of Biotechnology, Govt of India, and GPS Renewables, launched an electric vehicle (EV) charging station on Monday.

In line with the Willingdon club gate and RTO, and diagonally opposite the race course, this Haji Ali charging facility “can charge one car at a time,” Zaveri added. “This station will be powered by energy generated from our city’s food waste. The waste-to-energy plant is located alongside the charging station. We do not depend on the power grid so that means this green effort goes greener. However, if we see over eight cars per day, then we may need to take some power from the grid,” he said.
