Andhra Pradesh may have the right sunny conditions for solar-powered EV charging stations, but the sector is still at a very early stage, according to a minister.

The minister said the industry continues to face challenges, including high upfront investment and uncertain returns, even as the state government is aggressively developing EV charging stations.

However, the focus of the current rollout is not on solar-powered charging stations, the minister said, indicating that adoption of such facilities is moving only in baby steps.
