Abstract

To minimize carbon emissions and combat climate change, electric power must become less reliant on fossil energy, and transportation must become more electric. Electric vehicle sales are expected to rise as charging stations become more widely available and accessible. In order to combat the issue of inadequate infrastructure, Delhi Electric Vehicle policy 2020 launched by Delhi Government aims to accelerate the adoption of Electric vehicles and provide readily available charging infrastructure to aid the expanding EV market. As public charging has been delicensed in this policy, information on business plans to set up an EV charging station is lacking. The Possibility of Solar Powered Charging Stations (SPCS) is also discussed to offset the future load on the grid. The manuscript discusses the potentials of solar power for EV charging stations in Delhi and the future of Electric vehicles in Delhi. The purpose of the paper is to present a business model for optimal utilization and electricity generation at available parking spaces in both commercial and residential zones.
