Panasonic partners with BSES Yamuna Power Limited to set up its EV charging station

Panasonic has announced its collaboration with BSES Yamuna Power Limited to set up electric vehicle charging station at their New Delhi head office. Globally known for sustainable efforts, Panasonic has developed the charging station in India at their in-house R&D centre. The EV charging station was inaugurated in the presence of Manish Sharma, President & CEO, Panasonic India, Prem R Kumar, CEO, BSES Yamuna, Atul Arya, Head- Energy System Division, Panasonic India, Yasumichi Murase, Director, Last Mile Hub, Panasonic, Jitendra Nalwaya, Head Clean and Sustainable Technology, BSES Yamuna.

Built in compliance with the BharatEV AC001 standards released by DHI, Panasonic’s smart AC charging station comes equipped with 10KW power and can charge up to three electric vehicles simultaneously. The newly launched charging station also reduces the charge time significantly for lithium ion battery powered electric vehicles, almost 3 times faster than the conventional Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) Batteries. With this association, Panasonic aims at strengthening the partnership with one of the progressive DISCOMS and scale it up in the future.

The pilot facility inaugurated is state of the art and comes with key advantages such as enforcing the authorized charging, automated revenue collection understanding of the charging behaviour and pattern, real time charging data, app based control and automated payment mechanism etc. apart from being the most reliable and rugged product in the market.

With government giving impetus to adoption of electric vehicles and aiming to switch to all electric cars until 2030, it is essential to contribute meaningfully to the initiative. As a diversified technology company, we will continue to introduce products that can help achieve this goal.”
