Maharashtra Environment Minister Aaditya Thackeray inaugurated the country’s first organic waste-powered EV charging s btation at Keshavrao Khadye road near Haji Ali in Mumbai.
The station, a first-of-its-kind, will generate 220 units of electricity from food waste collected from its nearby areas, mostly from bulk generators like hotels and offices.
Along with powering street lights, this energy plant will now charge electric vehicles too.
The project is a joint venture between the civic body and AeroCare Clean Energy.
