Frequent power outages leave Keralam’s EV owners anxious over charging woes
Electric vehicle owners in Kerala are expressing growing concern that frequent, unscheduled power outages are disrupting overnight charging routines and potentially damaging battery health. While the Kerala State Electricity Board encourages off-peak charging, users argue that current infrastructure and power instability make reliable vehicle maintenance difficult.
Why it matters
The reliability of power infrastructure is a critical bottleneck for the mass adoption of electric vehicles, highlighting a potential conflict between green energy goals and grid stability.
Electric Vehicle (EV) owners in Keralam are keeping their fingers crossed over how frequent power outages will affect the charging of their vehicles.
While some owners claim it has already begun to take a toll on charging, others feel the impact, if any, is yet to be felt. Still, they remain concerned that the situation could worsen in the coming days if the power situation doesn’t improve.
