Hero Electric said it has partnered with the Delhi-based EV charging solutions startup Massive Mobility to set up 10,000 EV charging stations across the country in the next one year.This network will be open to all electric vehicles and will push for more standardisation among manufacturers.
The companies said they jointly conducted a survey to gauge consumer behaviour utilizing their charging stations. They said that the findings revealed that consumers looked for smart chargers that could be identified through an app over the internet, 16 AMP charging stations and long chords. The Wi-Fi network will help the users set up their profile within the Massive Charging app, make seamless payments utilising the UPI framework and monitor usage.
Sohinder Gill, CEO, Hero Electric said that the announcements by the Union Government over the last few months have helped propel the EV industry to the next level. Till date, they have set up close to 1650 charging stations and aim to set up 20K by the end of 2022. This association with Massive Mobility will broaden our efforts to reach our objective.
Shailesh Vickram Singh, co-founder, Massive Mobility, said they are looking forward to creating a seamless charging experience for Hero customers through our seamless integration of discovery, booking and payment with chargers deployed around customer lifestyle. Now with “Charger on demand” range anxiety will be history and lead to over 40 per cent adoption of electric two and three-wheelers.
