Twenty-one charging stations installed in six dzongkhags in Bhutan

THIMPHU, 26 June, 2021 (TON): On Friday, 11 fast chargers and 10 semi-fast chargers became operational in Thimphu, Paro, Punakha, Wangduephodrang, Chukha, and Haa dzongkhags.

On Friday, a small inauguration ceremony was held for the public charging station in Thimphu.

A fast charger can fully charge a car between 30 minutes and an hour. The semi-fast charger takes between two and three hours. 

A charging station can charge two cars at a time.

The project will install 15 fast chargers and 10 semi-fast chargers in 14 locations across six dzongkhags. However, two charging stations each in Paro and Phuentsholing are incomplete.

Phub Gyeltshen said that it was equally important to install charging stations in other dzongkhags.

However, Nu 69 million for charging stations is an approved activity under the 12th Five year Plan.
