BANGKOK, June 7 (TNA) – The Metropolitan Electricity Authority (MEA) has announced that it is now ready to open its battery charging stations for electric vehicles (EVs) in Bangkok and peripheral provinces as a pilot project.
MEA Assistant Governor Wilas Chaloeysat said that there are 12 battery charging stations for EVs under the MEA pilot project in Bangkok, Nonthaburi and Samut Prakan provinces.
Wilas said that his MEA has also conducted research and development (R & D) projects on standard battery charging machines for EVs in Thailand and planned its expanding production of electricity to sufficiently meet the market demand for EV drivers in the future.
Besides, the “MEA EV Application” has been developed for the free downloading by users of smart phones.
Users can access to comprehensive information on EVs in Thailand, including all available battery charging stations run by the MEA and other agencies and online maps or positioning systems to the places, as well as the real time-booking service for any charging machine with users’ individual archive.
