BOLT will install more than 750 touch points across the country which would cater to the needs of more than 4.5 lakh customers. Alongside the public chargers, around two thousand Hero Electric customers would be able to avail the benefit of setting up BOLT electric charging units at their home free of charge. This move would facilitate to compete with the increasing fuel prices and boost EV adoption in India.
This joint venture would concentrate on providing affordable charging solutions with a robust and accessible electric charging network infrastructure across India. BOLT is actively working to eliminate range anxiety among customers as this has proven to be one of the most challenging situations for every electric vehicle rider in the real world. With this mission of promoting non-polluting mobility, almost all electric vehicle manufacturers are trying their best to broaden their expertise in developing efficient powertrains.
