Flipkart on Tuesday (25 Aug’20) said that it will work towards phased integration of electric vehicles (EVs) into its entire delivery fleet by 2030. It plans to do this by placing requirements in service contracts, installing charging infrastructure close to its 1,400 supply chain premises, conducting awareness programs, and incentivizing delivery executives for using electric vehicles.
Flipkart’s decision is expected to further EV100’s goal. Leading Indian companies such as Wipro, State Bank of India (SBI) and BSES Yamuna Power, too, have committed to transition 100% of their fleet to electric through the EV100 initiative.
