Lithium Urban renewable energy powered charging hubs

Energy cost is very important and setting up a renewable charging hub across India is the strategy to further enhance the electric mobility in India. The company recently collaborated with Fourth Partner Energy to set up the renewable energy powered charging hubs. This initiative will make the electric vehicle ownership more affordable and also give a big push to the corporate electric vehicle transport.

Support from EESL-India

Focused on accelerating e-mobility & curbing air pollution, EESL-India (Energy Efficiency Services Limited) announced an agreement with Lithium Urban in December 2019. Under this agreement EESL signed an MoU with Lithium Urban to explore opportunities for 1000 of EESL’s EVs to provide transportation for corporate employees across India.

My Words

Lithium Urban has seen a very good growth in the past and now planning to play a big game this year. Expanding it’s renewable energy powered charging hub and also targeting to bring electric buses under the brand. Lithium Urban has also tied up with BYD for new electric buses and hopefully very soon those will start the operation in major cities like Delhi, Gurgaon, Banglore etc.. Until now, the company has provided it’s services to many corporate companies and still lot of scope is there. We wish all the luck for the future operation and spreading the awareness about the electric vehicle in the society.
