Mahindra announced the deployment of its electric vehicles on Uber, to provide zero emission connectivity in Hyderabad. The company flagged off a mix of Mahindra EVs in the city. Mahindra had already announced its collaboration with Uber, to explore the deployment of electric vehicles on its platform in several cities across India. To begin with, the companies will deploy 50 Mahindra EVs in Hyderabad and scale up over a period of time. Mahindra's electric vehicles on the Uber platform will include the e2oPlus hatch and the eVerito sedan.
Mahindra is working closely with public and private players who have initially set-up over 30 common use charging points across multiple locations in the city and this will certainly help in adoption of electric mobility in the area of public transport.
