BLive,
India’s first multi-brand electric vehicle (EV) selling platform, and Elocity,
a leading Canada-based pioneer in EV charging technology solutions have signed
a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to partner on the deployment and support of
smart EV charging network in the Indian and global markets.
Digital
stores and exceptional EV user charging network experience is key to both,
improving the experience for EV drivers and strengthening the viability of EV
charging business models. There are currently no walk-in stores offering
all-inclusive solutions for potential EV customers, which prevent them from
accessing a variety of brands, financial, insurance, and charging infrastructure
options.
This problem is solved by BLive EV Store, an
omnichannel store with top EV brands, a community of EV specialists, and great
deals; and is steadily expanding while being present in 46 Indian cities. The
BLive and Elocity partnership is crucial in securing a sustainable EV future by
building a robust Elocity-powered charging network in India and the rest of the
globe to accelerate EV adoption.
Samarth
Kholkar, CEO & Co-Founder of BLive, speaking from the company's
headquarters in Bangalore, expressed "With Elocity, we are expanding our
network and services to more Indian and global markets. We are committed to
easing the transition to EVs for everyone involved in the EV ecosystem,
including companies and end-users. One of the most crucial ways to encourage EV
adoption in India, in our opinion, is to make EV charging easy to reach and
use.”
"Elocity
is laser focused on innovating to solve the most pressing concerns in the EV
charging space," said Prity Singh, Elocity's Managing Director for India. “Working
with BLive demonstrates our commitment to developing and expanding the EV
ecosystem in India. We will continue to
collaborate with a wide range of experts in technology, companies, governmental
agencies, and EV users to maximize benefits for all parties. For EV users,
combining our EV charging solutions with the BLive digital store system is
important in addressing the issues of awareness, accessibility, and
affordability. Our integrated charging hardware and software solutions have
already connected the entire EV charging ecosystem, and this collaboration will
be advantageous for EV drivers,” Singh stated.
Currently,
Elocity is engaged with many leading companies and Government organizations in
India, North America and across the globe.
