VoltUp partners with BSNL to set up electric vehicles battery swapping stations
Initially, under the partnership battery swapping stations will be set up in four locations across Gurugram, enabling an infrastructure of over 150 charging docks, the company said in a statement.
Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) startup VoltUp on Wednesday said it has partnered with BSNL for setting up electric vehicles battery swapping stations in the country.
Initially, under the partnership battery swapping stations will be set up in four locations across Gurugram, enabling an infrastructure of over 150 charging docks, the company said in a statement.
It will be further extended to 30 locations across Haryana and other cities by the end of the year.
"Further, the partnership between VoltUp and BSNL will expand to major cities with high automobile density, to encourage last-mile connectivity agents to adopt electric two- and three-wheelers in their daily use," the company added.
"In cities, space is a big constraint and availability of charging points can be challenging, for e-2 wheelers and e-3 wheelers. BSNL has been a pioneer in connecting consumers with technology and with this partnership, consumers can experience the transition of urban mobility to green mobility," VoltUp Circle Business Head Nikhil Mathur said.
