Enabling Electric Vehicle Public Charging Stations in India

The global electric vehicle sales are on the rise have surpassed 1 million units in 2017. As per the International Energy Agency's (IEA) estimates, there will be about 125 million EVs on the road by 2030. Proactive policy environment combined with declining battery costs and investment in setting-up charging infrastructure is driving this penetration. This presentation provides the key insights on business model and approach developed for EESL for rollout EV charging infrastructure in India.

Sustainable Mobility in the Public Transport Sector -- The Philippines

The Philippines government decision to replace more than 4,000,000 old polluting Public Transport vehicles (PUVs) is commendable. In the longer term, non-fossil fuel PUVs are the sustainable solution –Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV). The challenge is to provide a financial mechanism that allows for marginalized borrowers to afford their vehicles, structure the PUV fleet management policy that enables all who wish to participate, provide a refueling infrastructure (battery charging) that guarantees an operational range without stopping to charge.
