EV charging infrastructure company EVRE on Tuesday announced that it has entered into a partnership with Zyngo, which operates an existing 500+ strong fleet across 10 cities, and working towards building a 10,000-strong EV fleet.
Under this partnership, EVRE will offer 5,000 EV charging stations across India within the next 24 months, which will be utilised by Zyngo and other EV fleet owners.
Zyngo will use these chargers to extend its last-mile access as it looks to leverage increased growth opportunities through geographical expansion. On its part, EVRE will design, manufacture and execute the operation and maintenance of the EV charging infrastructure. EVRE owns and operates all the technology for charging stations, existing and upcoming.
As part of this partnership, Zyngo will integrate demand aggregation, supply optimisation, connectivity to charging infrastructure, and help EVRE determine, where to install charging stations for better utilisation.
During the first phase of partnership, EVRE will support Zyngo with 500 charging stations for its EV fleet of 500. EVRE will lease the land, provide the parking and charging infrastructure, operate & maintain, and take care of the insurance, safety and security of these hubs, the company said in a release.
Over the next few months, as Zyngo expands to new cities, EVRE will provide the support to park and charge this dedicated EV fleet with its existing and upcoming infrastructure at respective locations.
The 5,000 chargers will be integrated with the rest of the EV ecosystem across the country through the EVRE App. This will enable 2W & 3W Zyngo fleet operators with slow and fast unmanned smart chargers that are capable of metering, billing and payment collection.
