So can you travel, out of town, in an Electric Car?
The answer is a resounding YES! You will be surprised at the amount of "out of city" travel being done by the Electric Car community in India. Between 2015 to 2019, EV travel was made possible due to PlugInIndia's pioneering efforts regarding community charge points. These charge points were installed outside cities near popular weekend or day trip destinations. And once these points were installed the EV community got their electric cars and enjoyed taking them outside cities! But since 2020, we have seen great progress regarding DC fast charging infrastructure for electric cars. We highly encourage you guys to read the article from our EV Community member to understand the EV charging infrastructure scene in India in 2021. Enjoy the stunning scenery of Ooty, enjoy the mountain air near Pune's western ghats, Go around Mumbai on a heritage drive, Go to Gujarat from Mumbai, Drive a quiet electric car in a National Park, Venture into the Himalayas, Go on a business drive between Mumbai and Pune or Bengaluru to Coimbatore, Drive from Delhi to Jaipur in your EV, Escape to the hill station of Mahabaleshwar, Explore Nashik from Mumbai or Pune, Get inspired at Shirdi and many many more! |
