Some of the key locations will be on Mumbai-Pune expressway, and Nashik, Nagpur and Aurangabad highways.

Of these, 13 have already been set up and work on 49 others is underway, with 17 in Pune, 10 in Navi Mumbai, six each in Thane and Nagpur, and two each in Nashik, Aurangabad, Solapur, Kolhapur and Amravati.

The MSEB has also developed a power mobile application to identify the nearby EV stations.
