EV infra to boost Kerala economy and environment
INTRO: Like all over the country and even abroad, the acceptance of electric vehicles (EVs) is gaining momentum in Kerala as well. And with the growth in the sale of EVs, the charging infrastructure is also getting strengthened. The installation of electric charging stations is giving a big push to the economy of the state, besides improving its environment.
By reducing air pollution through the use of EVs and electric charging stations, Kerala can help to protect the health of its citizens
Electric charging stations have numerous benefits for Kerala’s economy and environment. Some of the key benefits are:
- Reduction in air pollution: Electric vehicles (EVs) produce zero tailpipe emissions, which helps to reduce air pollution in cities and towns. This is, particularly, important in Kerala, which has high levels of air pollution in many urban areas.
- Lower greenhouse gas emissions: EVs produce significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions than traditional petrol or diesel-powered vehicles. By promoting the use of EVs, Kerala can help to reduce its carbon footprint and contribute to global efforts to combat climate change.
- Economic growth: The installation of electric charging stations can create new jobs in Kerala’s growing clean energy sector. Additionally, the use of EVs can reduce the state’s dependence on imported fuel, which can help save money and increase energy security.
- Increased tourism: The installation of electric charging stations can also be helpful in attracting tourists to the state. Tourists are increasingly showing more interest in eco-friendly travel options, and by promoting the use of EVs, Kerala can position itself as a leading sustainable tourism destination.
- Improved public health: The reduction in air pollution levels with the use of EVs can improve public health in Kerala. Air pollution is linked to a range of health problems, including asthma, heart disease, and lung cancer. By promoting the use of EVs, the state can contribute to the wellness quotient of its citizens.
