Altigreen, Massive Mobility partner to deploy 25K on-demand EV chargers by 2024

Altigreen Propulsion Labs Pvt. Ltd has tied up with Massive Mobility to install 25,000 on-demand electric vehicle charging stations across India in the next two years.  

‘On-demand’ charging generally means that an EV driver or owner can book a specific charger beforehand for a specific duration, and can pay through one of many online payment channels.
