Abstract:

This guidebook seeks to encourage corporates, based out of Delhi, to join hands with the Delhi Government in promoting electric vehicles by adopting workplace charging for electric vehicles. Various research shows that many corporate employees are willing to switch to EVs if there is a sound charging infrastructure2 at their workplace3 . According to various estimates, about 90% of the electric vehicle charging happens at home or at workplace. Typically, the vehicles used by employees, to get to and from the workplace, sit idle in the parking lot of the workplace. This time can be utilized by the employees to charge their vehicles. In March 2021, Delhi Government directed all commercial establishments and institutions having a parking capacity of 100 vehicles or more to reserve 5%4 of their parking space for electric vehicles.
