The partnership goes well in fostering EV adoption by JSW employees and ElectricPe’s vision to provide a seamless experience to EV users. Following this partnership, JSW employees get access to 100,000 charging points on ElectricPe’s platform.

JSW Group further aims to ensure faster EV adoption in the country and enable carbon-free mobility for its group employees. The goal is to build ambition among corporate and government bodies to support India’s transition to net zero by 2070.

Commenting on the development, Dilip Pattanayak, President & CHRO, JSW Group said, “JSW Group announced EV Policy is a unique initiative leading to increased adoption of EVs, which will broaden our efforts and enable access to green mobility. The collaboration with ElectricPe will help to create a seamless charging experience for employees across the corporate offices and plant locations as they can now avail quick charging facility of their Electric Vehicles within premises offering an enhanced EV riding experience.”

ElectricPe, on the other hand is a B2C EV charging and demand generation app that offers EV users a one-stop platform to identify, access, and pay for EV charging points to make E-mobility easier. Co-founded by Avinash Sharma and Raghav Rohila in May 2021, the company claims to make access to charging points simple, seamless, and efficient. It said, its next-gen technology helps users discover charging points and identifies the best while facilitating charging in any station across the country. It does this by leveraging a nationwide network of charging points and independent charge point operators.

“Coming on the back of three other partnership announcements, this association marks our first collaboration with a corporate organisation. A forward-thinking company, JSW is the first corporate in India to provide an employee financial policy to promote clean mobility and we are thrilled to be a part of this. We believe this alliance will help improve the utilisation of our network and ensure we reach our goal of enabling one lakh charging points in the country by the end of this year,” said Avinash Sharma, Cofounder & CEO, ElectricPe.
