Modhera, known as India's first 24-hour solar-powered village, has expanded its renewable energy setup to include electric vehicle charging. The Solar Village Modhera 2.0 project pairs a 6 MW solar plant with a 15 MWh battery storage system. A charging station near the Sun Temple lets residents charge electric two-wheelers with solar power, cutting petrol and diesel use for commuting and small businesses. Residents say the system lowers fuel costs and also runs household appliances like refrigerators, TVs, and washing machines. The project is a practical example of linking solar generation, storage, and transport in a rural setting. The article does not include details on charger pricing, utilization, or capacity, which would help show whether the model can be replicated elsewhere.
