PM Modi Inaugurates CESL's Solar-Powered EV Charging Carport at Statue of Unity in Kevadia, Gujarat

Gandhinagar, November 1, 2024: Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Solar-Powered Electric Vehicle Charging Carport at the Statue of Unity in Kevadia, Gujarat. Developed by Convergence Energy Services Limited (CESL), a subsidiary of Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL), under the Ministry of Power, this innovative carport underscores the PM's commitment to advancing clean energy solutions and fostering a green mobility ecosystem nationwide.

With support from the Asian Development Bank (ADB), this state-of-the-art solar carport features bi-facial mono-crystalline solar modules and an advanced Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), marking a substantial stride toward a carbon-neutral future. The carport is equipped with a 50 kWp solar capacity and 200 kWh battery storage, enabling it to charge up to 10 electric vehicles (EVs) with a combination of fast and slow chargers. By generating energy on-site, it promotes energy independence, decreases fossil fuel dependency, and supports long-term sustainability.

Developed with a suite of advanced features, the carport offers app-based vehicle charging and battery monitoring, ensuring users to have real-time information on their vehicle’s charging status. A 24-hour CCTV surveillance system, integrated with app-based monitoring, enhances security for both vehicles and users. Additionally, a designated seating area is provided for drivers to rest comfortably while their EVs charge, making the experience convenient and user-friendly.

Speaking at this achievement, Mr. Vishal Kapoor, MD & CEO CESL said, “The Solar Powered Electric Vehicle Charging Carport represents a significant step towards realising the Honourable Prime Minister’s vision for green mobility. Off-grid solar EV charging stations equipped with BESS will demonstrate the feasibility of renewable energy in powering transportation across diverse settings in India, particularly in remote or grid-challenged areas. By establishing infrastructure that is self-sustaining and eco-friendly, CESL aims to lower socio-economic costs of building infrastructure for charging, making sustainable transportation more affordable & accessible.”

"This project reflects CESL’s dedication to pioneering green innovation and developing scalable, sustainable solutions to drive India’s transition toward a cleaner, greener future. Equipped with 60 kW CCS II fast chargers, AC001, and Type II AC chargers, the carport redefines convenience—powering journeys with clean, renewable energy," Mr. Kapoor added.

The inauguration of this solar carport in Kevadia marks a vital advancement in electric vehicle infrastructure across India. By adopting renewable energy and cutting-edge technology, CESL aligns with Hon’ble Prime Minister’s ambitious sustainability goals and stands ready to contribute meaningfully to India’s green energy landscape, promoting cleaner, more efficient transportation alternatives for a sustainable tomorrow.
