About PluginIndia
We @PluginIndia are passionate about Electric Vehicles and Clean energy. Our aim is to accelerate the shift to plug-in vehicles powered by clean, affordable, domestic electricity to reduce our country's dependence on imported oil and thus improve the global environment.
We have started doing this by creating content (blogs, videos, reviews) that helps in spreading awareness of electric vehicles and clean energy. We have conceived Let Us Breathe and RE:LIVE events to promote EV’s and have promoted community charging by pioneering the idea of community charging stations, where communities open up their homes, offices and businesses for EV owners.
We also work with the Electric Vehicle Industry and local businesses to bring about change.
