Hero Electric on Wednesday said it has joined hands with BOLT to set up 50,000 EV charging stations across India in the next year. This partnership aims to install BOLT chargers at more than 750 Hero Electric touchpoints all over India.
Along with this, more than 2,000 Hero Electric riders will avail themselves free of cost of BOLT charging units set up at their homes. This collaboration is expected to boost EV adoption and the movement towards carbon-free mobility in India.
As part of the collaboration, the Bolt charging network will be leveraged both by Hero Electric’s enterprise partners and EV customers, significantly curbing range anxiety. Also, Bolt will be integrated within the Hero Electric App and website, offering a one-stop solution for locating a charging station, booking a slot, and payment.
Post-installation of Bolt charging stations, individuals can choose between private/public mode of operation for their charging stations and decide the price depending on existing commercial/EV tariffs. Moreover, subscription-based plans will be announced for Hero Electric riders to ease their usage.
Sohinder Gill, CEO, Hero Electric said, “We are delighted to partner with BOLT as its charging network will offer affordable charging solutions further, encouraging the switch to electric vehicles. A robust charging network has aided the growth of EVs by curbing range anxiety among riders.
Our mission is to enable carbon-free mobility and fasten EV adoption in the country by building a strong charging ecosystem and reskilling mechanics to offer an enhanced EV riding experience. We are positive that this collaboration will broaden our efforts to reach the set objective. This partnership will benefit the industry overall and allow e2W riders easy access to charging stations pan India.”
