India Inc is slowly playing a part in improving electric vehicle (EV) adoption by providing EV-charging infrastructure at work, offering such vehicles as car lease options, or converting their own fleet into EVs.
Sample this: The Godrej & Boyce campus has four EV-charging points; HSBC is looking to offer EVs as part of its car-lease benefits; and logistics player FedEx is converting its parcel pickup and delivery fleet into zero-emission vehicles by 2040.
Kartikey Hariyani, founder and chief executive officer (CEO), Charge+Zone, an EV-charging infrastructure company specialising in high-speed charging networks, said the firm was getting more queries by the day from companies, including real estate developers, to install charging networks on their premises.
"We recently executed a project for Brookfield in Gurugram, where we created the infrastructure for 36 cars to charge on its premises. We get calls from real-estate developers like malls and multiplex owners and corporate groups to install such infrastructure. We call this destination charging. The year 2023-24 is going to be a phenomenal one for us and we expect three times growth in the number of installations. We aim to set up 10,000 charging points this year," Hariyani told Business Standard.
