Highest EV charging station was set up in Himachal Pradesh’s Spiti Valley on 23rd September 2021. goEgoNetwork a Pune-base company that set up two EV chargers for two and four-wheelers in Kaza.
This event came after there were complaints from tourists about the lack of EV charging stations in the Spiti Valley said the Subdivisional Magistrate Mahender Partap Singh.
“This is the first station in the valley. If the station gets a good response, more such stations would be set up. It will also help check vehicular pollution,”.
Two electric scooters have been provided by the company to the local administration to promote e-vehicles in the valley.
Mr. Singh also said that two riders rode on e-scooters from Manali to Kaza.
E-scooters didn’t face any problem while crossing the Kunzum Pass (4,551m).
The EV charging station place at an altitude of 3,720m, the highest in the country, as Kaza is located at an altitude higher than Leh, where temperatures plummet below minus 20-degree Celsius in winter.
Not accessible by road throughout the year but the picturesque Spiti Valley remains cut off from the world for more than four months a year due to heavy snowfall.
Station will reopens once the snow starts thawing after mid-April.
