You can pay your bill in advance to get the slot and can directly go and charge vehicles at a given time. The bill can be paid later also after reaching the charging station.

KSEB earlier this year in July had announced the list of empanelled bidders who wants to set up electric vehicle charging stations for commercial operations at specific locations in the state. It had last year invited bids from interested parties to set up electric vehicles charging stations across the state.

The KSEB head of the renewable energy department of KSEB said that “The price bids from these empanelled bidders have been called for 56 electric vehicles charging stations under the second phase.” He said that the government has laid out three phases for the installation of electric vehicles charging stations across the state. Under phase I, six electric vehicles charging stations are being deployed.” He added that under Phase III more than 300 electric vehicles charging stations are in the pipeline. The government secretariat in the state’s capital Thiruvananthapuram pilot project is already in operation.
