The Delhi government is reportedly planning to introduce a time-of-day (ToD) tariff system for charging electric vehicles (EVs) in order to further incentivise the users.
Consultations are currently underway, and the system is expected to be implemented within a year, according to Jasmine Shah, vice-chairperson of Delhi’s Dialogue and Development Commission (DDC). He also mentioned that, while ToD is currently unavailable for charging EVs, it is an urgent need given the growing number of such vehicles. The ToD tariff system can reduce electricity costs based on the time of day, and it is currently available to some commercial and industrial users, with retail customers potentially benefiting soon.
