BANGALORE, India, Feb. 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Zoomcar Holdings, Inc. which recently went public on the NASDAQ, announced a partnership with Sparkcars, a EV self-drive rental company in India.

Zoomcar and Sparkcars plan to introduce over 1,000 electric vehicles to Zoomcar’s platform across India within the next two years. These additions will include popular models such as the TATA Nexon, Mahindra XUV 400, Citroen eC3, and others. These EVs can be booked on the Zoomcar app without any security deposit or KM limit.

“In response to the government’s growing focus on boosting the EV ecosystem, we are proud to grow in the same direction facilitating this evolution together with Sparkcars to foster a cleaner, greener future,” said Greg Moran, CEO and Co-Founder Zoomcar. “We’re not only integrating EVs into our platform but also empowering guests with diverse sustainable options, unlocking substantial economic benefits for EV hosts compared to ICE.”

Mehul Agrawal, CEO and Co-Founder Sparkcars said “We have been working towards fulfilling our vision. Our goal is to enable a sustainable mobility transition in India for quite some time. We are now more confident in our shared abilities to achieve this goal at a much faster pace. Zoomcar, a market leader, seamlessly aligns with India’s climate commitments and the Prime Minister’s Mission Life initiative, forging a partnership.”

Zoomcar and Sparkcars jointly celebrated their inaugural guest booking, with Adarsh Menon, Zoomcar’s President, and Mehul Agrawal, Sparkcars’ co-founder, present.

Their first guest, Mr. Keshav Soni added, “As a staunch advocate for electric vehicles and a believer in the self-drive rental model, I’m ecstatic to be the first to experience the synergy between Zoomcar and Sparkcars. This partnership aligns perfectly with my values of sustainability and convenience. Not owning a car myself, it offers me the freedom to explore without the burden of ownership. I’m proud to support initiatives that pave the way for a greener, more accessible future of transportation.”
