Electric vehicle charging stations has to be made more accessible for people with disabilities can improve everyone’s experience with these new forms of infrastructure.Once the public, more broadly, starts to see which charger points are easier to use — regardless of whether they have a disability or not — those are going to be the go-to sites.The size of parking spaces serving EV chargers, and the height for accessing the charging cable and viewing information screens. For example, the charger plug, as well as screens, should be 15 to 48 inches off the ground. The charger should include a visual as well as audible indicator for the status of charge.The movement of charging cables should also include motorized mechanisms, to limit the force needed by the person plugging it in.

Women safety should be given more importance at EV charging stations and repair stations. EV is suitable for young women to travel. EVs will surely become the first choice of young people, so safety features should be taken into consideration for women. More EV repair centers should be set up. Special evening and weekend classes should be conducted in government and private ITIs in every district for EV repair training for those who are currently entrepreneurs and involved in repair services and those who want to start their own business by learning EV repair training.EV repair stations are the most abundant and closest to EV. Increase vehicle sales. Also, if those who are currently repairing petrol and diesel vehicles get training in repairing EV vehicles, it will benefit their future as well. Equipment to assist in EV repairs should be provided at subsidized rates.Increasing number of charging stations and repair centers will definitely increase EV traffic

Charging stations with EV parking facilities should be set up at railway stations, toll booths, bus stations, ports and airports. Charges apply for charging. Metering should be done according to the amount charged.Next, when the announcements regarding parking auctions and toll booths auctions are published, there should be a feature of sharing the revenue between the government and the contractor by maintaining the charging facility for EV vehicles and collecting fees. EV charging infrastructure should be improved at public transport stations, ports and customs booths. Charging stations set up in parking areas should be set up in compliance with fire safety regulations. Setting up of EV charging stations at public transport locations will encourage EV mobility.Like petrol stations, charging stations should be set up at a certain distance. Wherever EV charging stations and repair centers are set up, women's safety should be a top priority.

City ,group Movements should be promoted to increase EVs travel. Awards should be announced with Shoonya logo . Incentives should be given. The corporations of Tier 1,2 &3 cities should provide Shoonya awards with special funds if they promote EV travel. Special funds and awards should be given to Municipal & Metro Corporations who are enthusiastic about setting up more charging stations, setting up repair centers, conducting EV related skill development trainings, setting up charging stations in public and private parking areas etc.The involvement of local bodies is essential in this regard. The next group engagement is to award Shoonya awards based on how important industries, companies, etc. are to EV mobility in their locations. Establishing necessary infrastructure forEV at workplaces. Encouraging employees to switch to EVs is also worth it. Encouraging EV commuting for their companies' day-to-day operations will reduce air pollution.
