Bangalore-based Altigreen, a leading manufacturer of electric three-wheelers has joined hands with Delhi-based EV charging solutions start-up Massive Mobility to install 25,000 on-demand charging stations in the next two years.

Dr. Amitabh Saran, CEO, Altigreen said, "We have a long way to go in making Indian roads fully electric and, to sustain this uphill climb, there is a need for a robust EV charging infrastructure. Aligning our goals with Massive Mobility, which is developing an electric mobility ecosystem in Indian metros with an initial focus on the commercial sector, will help us to boost EV adoption across the country. We believe that leveraging the company's expertise in designing a smart, integrated network of charging stations will help us to achieve our collective goals."

The partners say the charging network will be accessible to all EVs, regardless of ownership, type, brand, or model, and motivate other EV manufacturers to standardise EV charging infrastructure. In addition, Massive Mobility will also commission owners of the parking and charging points to offer charging nodes to EV drivers through its cloud-based solutions. Its chargers are already live at more than 150 locations across Delhi-NCR.

To make the experience trouble-free for drivers, the Massive charging app helps users set up their profile online, identify and book a charging station slot, make payments utilising the UPI framework, and also monitor usage. 

Shailesh Vickram Singh, founder, Massive Mobility said, “At Massive Mobility, we are creating a seamless charging experience for EV users. With the 'charger on-demand’, range anxiety, earlier associated with electric vehicles, is becoming a thing of the past, and will eventually lead to dramatic increase in adoption of EVs in 2w/3w space.”
