Overview
- Director General Vikram Singh Mann, who toured Kokapet on Wednesday, inspected ChargeZone’s public fast‑charging hub and a nearby high‑rise complex.
- He reviewed high‑capacity DC fast chargers with technical staff and checked key safeguards like earth‑leakage protection, thermal monitoring, and automatic shutdown during power surges.
- At the residential site, he examined enclosed parking areas, building firefighting systems, and home chargers to see how domestic power lines handle long, heavy loads.
- He said the on‑site observations will feed into comprehensive state regulations that aim to require strict upkeep and reliable safety interlocks for commercial charging operators.
- No new rules have been issued yet, but the push comes as Kokapet’s rapid growth adds more EV chargers to dense towers and garages, where better ventilation and response plans can reduce fire risk for residents and drivers.
