Managing director and chief executive Hisashi Takeuchi said on Tuesday that the country’s largest carmaker has set up more than 2,000 exclusive charging points across 1,100 cities as part of its two-pronged strategy to alleviate driving range anxiety among consumers when it begins selling its battery EV.

The announcement came at the launch of eVitara, an electric sports utility vehicle (SUV) in the domestic market.
