Aaditya Thackeray, the Minister of Environment, inaugurated the first organic waste-powered EV charging station at Keshavrao Khadye road near Haji Ali in Mumbai. This is the first one of it’s kind in India.

This station, will generate 220 units of electricity from food waste, which is collected from bulk waste producers like hotels and offices. This station will not only power street lights, but also now charge electric vehicles.

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is planning to set up these kind of  EV charging stations in each of the 24 administrative wards. This project is a joint venture between the civic body and AeroCare Clean Energy.

This project uses food waste to convert to energy. A waste-to-energy plant was set up at Minatai Thackeray Park, which was started in September 2021. Ever since, it consumed 1.5 lakh kg of food to generate electricity. The current ev charging station is connected to this same project.

Aaditya Thackeray tweeted, “Inauguraated India’s first EV charging station powered by bio-gas at Keshavrao Khadye Marg today, which generates 220 units of energy from household waste. Along with powering street lights, this energy plant will now charge electric vehicles too.”
