Public charging stations will be located every 25 kilometres on highways, the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority(Epra) says in new guidelines of battery charging for electric vehicles (EVs).

“At least one charging station should be available in a grid of three kilometres by three kilometres. Additionally, one charging station shall be set up at every 25 kilometres on both sides of highways/roads” the regulator says.
