New Delhi, September 24: To promote a more sustainable environment, the highest electric vehicle charging station in the world was inaugurated in Kaza, Spiti district in Himachal Pradesh.
Mahendra Pratap Singh, Kaza Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) said, “This is the world's highest electric vehicle charging station at 500 ft in Kaza. It is the first station here. If the station gets a good response, more stations would be set up. It will also help to check vehicular pollution.”
He added, “Today two women have come from Manali to Kaza on the electric vehicle to promote a sustainable environment. The weather nowadays is changing abruptly due to an increase in air pollution and the emission of gases from vehicles is one of the main causes of this pollution.”
The woman said, "All the products are made in India here and we travelled from Manali to Kaza to promote sustainable energy. Also, there is a myth that we can not cover long-distance journeys on electric vehicles. So, we both wanted to prove it wrong by riding these electric scooters today from Manali. We had a very comfortable journey."
