New Delhi: In line with the commitment towards building a robust electric mobility eco-system, BSES
Yamuna Power Limited (BYPL) and EV Motors India Pvt. Ltd. (EVM) have partnered to set-up smart
charging stations
As part of this endeavour, the first smart public charging station under this partnership was inaugurated
today at Patparganj by Delhi’s Hon’ble Deputy Chief Minister, Shri Manish Sisodia in the presence of
senior officials of BYPL and EV Motors. The entire event was conducted while adhering to all the safety
protocols and maintaining social distancing. BSES Director Shri V S Verma also graced the occasion.
Smart Charging Station
Located in the heart of I P Extension, Patparganj, the smart EV charging station, branded ‘PlugNgo’, is
enabled with state-of-the-art Central Management System (CMS). This will help to oversee operations of
the EV charger and provide on-site and on-demand customer support. It will also provide information on
preventive maintenance as and when required. Depending on the make, an e-vehicle can be fully
charged between 45 and 90 minutes. The charging stations under PlugNgo in Delhi are expected to cater
to the charging requirements of 15 to 18 cars per day.
The newly launched station will be equipped with two types of chargers – DC 50 kW with three guns
which can charge Hyundai Kona, MG ZS EV & Tata Nexon, and DC 30 kW with 2 Guns (Both GB/T) which
can charge Mahindra e-Verito & Tata Tigor. Two electric vehicles can be charged simultaneously from
each charger.
Mr. P R Kumar, CEO – BSES Yamuna Power Limited (BYPL) said, “BYPL is gearing up to play a major role
in the emerging EV sector. This is a very exciting moment for us and we are working closely with our
strategic partners to set up many more charging stations. This partnership with EV Motors India is a
testimonial to these efforts. Through this association, we at BYPL aim to reiterate our commitment to
energy efficiency and sustainable growth. We plan to install more such smart public EV charging stations
in the months ahead.”
Vinit Bansal, Managing Director, EV Motors India said, “We are delighted to partner with BYPL to
launch our first jointly managed EV charging infrastructure. Mobility is going through a global
transformation as we build solutions to improve air quality, make clean energy more accessible and
reduce fossil fuel dependence. Through this association, we look forward to transforming the mobility
landscape in the capital, thereby accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles.
In this endeavour, EV Motors has partnered with ABB, a global leader in EV fast charging solutions.
Through its expertise and legacy in this field, ABB has established itself to provide EV Charging
Equipments for electric vehicles. The company is consistently pushing the boundaries of e-mobility to
contribute to a sustainable future.

Cost of charging and Benefits
The tentative total cost of running a e vehicle is between Rs 1.25 to Rs 1.50 cost per km, depending on
the make of the vehicles, which is extremely competitive compared to petrol, diesel and even CNG
vehicles. Thus a user can save substantially per km on an electric vehicle. Apart from this, an EV will lead
to a savings of over 30 tonnes of CO2 for a lifespan of 10 years.
