The Union Cabinet recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding with France that seeks to support the governments’ ambitious plan for the deployment of electrical vehicles by maximising solar mobility and minimising its grid impact. The MoU was signed in October between the Solar Energy Corporation of India Ltd (SECI), India and Commissariat à lenergie atomique et aux energies alternatives (CEA) — French state-owned research entity, and BlueStorage SAS, a French company.
The objective of the MoU is to define the modalities of discussions about future collaboration in a pilot project to provide SECI an e-vehicle charging station with embedded batteries, powered by solar panels and optimised connection to the grid.
