Navi Mumbai society installs 3 solar-powered electric-vehicle charging stations

30 Sept 2019 News : Navi Mumbai society installs 3 solar-powered electric-vehicle charging stations https://lnkd.in/fVJgS8d ======================== Extract : By installing the 16 kilowatt-power (kWp) solar project, Shah Complex IV housing society in Sanpada has managed to become ‘zero energy’ — i.e. total energy used annually is equal to renewable energy created on site.

Other residents said the timing of their project was appropriate. “We expect homeowners buying new vehicles to move to e-mobility soon,” said Ashok Yadav, committee member. Prabhakar Verma, another resident, said, “People were reluctant to buy e-vehicles till they know where they can charge them.” ============================ What is holding up ?
