The MoU sets a roadmap for creating an expansive EV charging infrastructure across the country, it added.
Also, their partnership will also entail rolling out e-mobility solutions to provide seamless access to the charging network for the customers covering discovery, availability, navigation, and transactions, the automaker said.
