The state's first solar-powered electric vehicle (EV) charging station was opened in Banthra under Sarojini Nagar constituency.
UP currently has over 3.75 lakh registered EVs and offers attractive subsidies to promote green mobility. Each EV can save 1.5 million grams of CO? per year. With a 30% EV adoption target by 2030, said BJP's Sarojininagar MLA Rajeshwar Singh.
India could save $60 billion in oil imports annually. The state CM Yogi Adityanath's solar mission is to expand UP's solar capacity from 288 MW in 2017 to 22,000 MW by 2030.
