Underlining the combined commitment to accelerate EV adoption while also improving the support infrastructure set up here, Hero Electric said in a press statement that its partnership with BOLT is aimed to bring down range-related anxiety among customers of its lineup of products. “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," said Sohinder Gill, CEO, Hero Electric.

To make the process of charging more convenient, apart from more accessible, BOLT would be integrated within the Hero Electric App and website to allow quicker search for an available charging point and to allow for a slot to be reserved, and for payment to be made. “Individuals can choose between private/public mode of operation for their charging stations and decide the price depending on existing commercial/EV tariffs," the statement elaborates. “The BOLT charging network is hardware agnostic and will integrate with any charging solution provider in the country."
