KOCHI: The first electric vehicle (EV) charging station in the state was opened at the Indian Oil Retail Outlet M/s United fuels at Edappally on Saturday.

With this, Kochi has become the second city in south India to have an EV charging station after Hyderabad. The first such station in the country was commissioned last year in Nagpur by Indian Oil Corporation Limited.

While the inauguration was done through video conference by chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan in the presence of state head and chief general manager of IndianOil, Kerala, V C Asokan, the first charging of the electric vehicle was done by district collector S Suhas at the retail outlet.

IndianOil officials said that IOC in association with Power Grid Corporation of India was planning to set up EV charging stations across the state in the coming years. Thirty-five charging stations are proposed to be commissioned in Kerala by March 31, 2020. During the fast charging, vehicles would be fully charged in one-and-half hours. IndianOil will charge all vehicles free of cost till September 30.
