Kolkata Police adopt 226 Electric Vehicles in its fleet to Cope with Rising Fuel Costs

The Kolkata Police Department recently decided to introduce 226 electric vehicles into their vehicle list to cope up with the increasing cost of petrol and diesel as well as the high maintenance cost of traditional vehicles. As per a few reports, these electric vehicles will be leased for eight years and it will help to eliminate 200 diesel vehicles with a lifespan of about 15 years. In addition, the new electric vehicles are likely to be designed for transportation, wireless communication, and other units, with at least 78 traffic police officers vehicles. As per the reports, Nabanna has already given a green signal to this proposal and given a go-ahead to implement this. It takes approximately 8 hours to fully charge each electric vehicle, so fast chargers will be set up at nine police stations across the city. Kolkata Police will first check the operational challenges of the first batch of electric vehicles and then give the green light for the widespread use of e-vehicles in the police vehicle's fleet. The Kolkata Police fleet currently has 4,000 vehicles but for legal work and special requests, they hire more vehicles from outside. The Deputy Secretariat and Ministry of Hill Affairs have allocated a budget of Rs 8.8 billion. They also called on government agencies to complete the bidding process and purchase of electric vehicles. In addition, TOI said in its report that additional CPs have been hired to coordinate with various agencies so that these vehicles can be delivered quickly.

Why choose to install a Public Charging Station?

If you don't have a garage or closed parking area, you have no choice but to install your charging station outdoors. On the market, you will easily find robust and waterproof models like the Kazam Mini, designed to withstand the vagaries of time. Having a kiosk outside is perfect if you want to make the investment in its installation profitable and offer it to the public for paid use. All you have to do is register and share your charging station on applications such as Kazam EV which are currently the benchmarks in the country. This solution is especially interesting for companies or professionals who plan to invest in a charging station in the open car park of their establishments. They have the possibility of re-invoicing the charging sessions on time, by package, by the act, or by the electricity consumed. An automatic supervision system makes it easier to manage invoices.
