Battery-swapping startup VoltUp announced a partnership on Wednesday with Adani Electricity, Hero Electric and Zomato to open 500 electric mobility stations across Mumbai by 2024, catering to over 30,000 riders daily.
Starting with 120 docks in 10 locations between Goregaon and Borivali, the partnership plans to add 50 locations by year-end to cover the western line from Churchgate to Mira-Bhayandar.
This is the first smart mobility partnership in India between a battery-swapping startup and infrastructure, original equipment manufacturer and last-mile partners.
Inadequate charging infrastructure and electric vehicles’ high prices and long charging time have been the major hurdles to the adoption of electric mobility in the country.
