According to TOI Reddy claimed that HMRL has parking facilities in all the 24 Metro stations and more than half of the total parking area is lying vacant. “It will take about 45 minutes to charge an EV car. Once we have the facility, we hope more people will be encouraged to switch over to EVs. As demand picks up, we will scale up the charging infrastructure,” he said, adding that in the next few months it will also offer battery swapping facilities.
