NHEV is starting with 40+charger on these 3G energy stations with clarity that these 3.2 mw Energy stations are the future of decarbonized mobility ultimately going to move completely on renewables facilitating a passenger and freight mobility on Indian e-highways without any fossil fuel, thermal grid carbon emission or energy import for mobility.
NHEV 3rd Gen Charging Station
NHEV, a commercial pilot, initially aimed for Agra-Delhi-Jaipur routes to be open as India’s first 500 km E-Highway under this commercial pilot. On 27th September 2022, Shri Nitin Gadkari, Hon’ble Minister of Road Transport & Highways, inaugurated the miniature model of the NHEV third-generation Green Fuel Charging Stations. His appreciation towards the pilot fueled the scale-up of the pilot tenfold up to 5000 kms. By the end of 2023, NHEV committed itself to equally increase procurement and capabilities up to tenfold as it entered the expansion phase.

3G Energy stations are the future of decarbonized mobility let’s hear it how:
- -> 800 KWH Compact Substation on Thermal Grid only for a period of 5 years from commissioning.
- -> 800 KWH Solar Compact Substation with battery storage to optimize dispense renewable energy.
- -> 800 KWH Green Energy dispensing to be prototyped from vertical wind turbines on roads Separators.
- -> 800 KWH Green H2 from micro electrolyzer powered by surplus Solar & Wind renewable energy.
NHEV stations are destined to reach on its Viksit Bharat version by dispensing 3200 KWH Green and Renewable energy with discontinuation from thermal grid and shifting completely on clean energy within 5 years of its commissioning.
While Germany has started dismantling its Electric Corridor after struggling with its trajectory to complete its target of 4,000 km of e-highways by 2030; due to high project cost and stagnant overhead wires technology, their prototypes are being challenged by prototypes developed by Indian NHEV partners LWT. The cost of conversion of 1 km of highway into e-highway in Germany is 22 crore as against ₹1 crore with the prototype developed in India. “We are confident of completing our e-highway target by 2027, i.e., 3 years ahead of its schedule” said NHEV Project Director Abhijeet Sinha to media after developing Megawatt-Scale Medium Voltage Charger, powered by cutting-edge Solid-State Transformer (SST) technology collaboration with Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT) & Lotus Wireless Technologies (LWT) marking India’s transformational leap in the global energy landscape.
