Paving a way for last mile delivery companies to switch to 100% electric vehicles in India

The growth of electric vehicles across the world has encouraged India to adopt EVs and set ambitious targets of replacing all vehicles on road to complete electric by 2030. The first wave of EVs in India came with the launch of Reva in 2001 for EV enthusiasts. The second wave which began in 2015 saw the growth of EV startups who were building EVs and surrounding services for the Indian ecosystem.
