Its pioneering open-architecture platform has redefined the electric vehicle ecosystem. My focus will be on making sure every battery and station we build reaches our partners faster, more reliably and more affordably, in India and globally, and on continually advancing our technology so our battery-swapping platform remains the most flexible, cost-effective and future-ready solution for mobility as we write our next chapter.”
“Indofast Energy brings together IndianOil’s unparalleled national footprint with SUN Mobility’s category-defining technology. Building a reliable, accessible and economically sustainable energy network at national scale requires execution discipline, strong unit economics and relentless focus on customer experience. I look forward to rapidly scaling our battery swapping network across the country and making EV refuelling seamless and instantaneous for users across India.”, said, Kamaldeep Singh, Chief Executive Officer of Indofast Energy.
