To boost the adoption of electric vehicles, it is necessary to adopt them in all modes of transportation. Businesses and corporates can play a major role by adopting electric vehicles in their daily fleet and thus saving huge on running costs. To guide corporate on efficient use of electric mobility, Electric Mobility Forum is coming with a webinar on “Corporate Adoption of Electric Vehicles in India” led by Nittan Bhalla, General Manager and Head – Facilities Management and Operations at Wipro.
This is part of the monthly webinar series organized by Electric Mobility Forum, powered by WRI India with the support from Shakti Sustainable Energy Foundation, for the faster adoption of E-Mobility in the country. In this one hour session Mr. Bhalla will address the challenges faced by corporate to procure electric vehicles and what business model should they follow to optimize their fleet of EVs.
The one hour webinar will throw light on some major topics of electric mobility that will beneficial for policy-makers, OEMs, EV component manufacturers and operators of all modes, and electricity service providers.
According to Mr. Bhalla , the decision to move to EVs for employee transportation services was natural for Wipro since it involved public health benefits – cleaner air in cities, as well as mitigating carbon emissions. Wipro is committed to ecological sustainability and is continuously involved in multiple environment-related programs both within and outside our business boundaries.
Electric vehicles offer a great reduction in transport costs for corporate, especially for fleet vehicles with regular journeys of up to 100 km per day. Although electric cars are more expensive to buy, they have significantly lower running costs when compared to petrol or diesel vehicles. This session is a great way to know more insights about Wipro's experience of electrifying their fleet and how it is benefitting the company for a sustainable future.
Wipro has recently partnered with Bangalore-based electric fleet service provider Lithium Urban Technologies (Lithium) to use the electric vehicle fleet for employee transportation across their various branches.
Topics of the session will include:
- Importance of B2B and B2C for different EV segments in India
- Challenges and opportunities to adopt B2B model for e-cars in India
