NAWALPUR Feb 11: A fast charging station for electric vehicles has come into operation at Kawasoti-11 in Nawalparasi (Bardaghat-Susta East).
The charging station has the facility to charge five small and large vehicles at the same time. A local Bishnu Adhikari said he set up the charging station on his five kattha of land with the support of the Nepal Electricity Authority. A total of Rs 10 million was invested for the same.
He shared that he has also set a plan of operating a 'refreshment centre' for drivers. The charging station has the facility of charging electric vehicles for 24 hours in the fast charging station, the only charge station established along the114-km Narayanghat-Butwal road section.
Adhikari mentioned that on average around 50 vehicles can be charged daily at the station, but problems have surfaced due to the delay in expansion of the road.
They are also planning to add 10 more nozzles once the Narayanghat-Butwal road expansion task completes, he added.
