The company also wants to address the needs of customers residing in remote areas and make it easier for them to get started with electric vehicles, it said. “This significant project represents a significant milestone for the startup, which already has a remarkable track record of installing over 103 charging stations in India in one year. Committed to transforming the EV charging experience, GO EC has partnered with major restaurants and shopping malls to ensure EV users can easily charge their vehicles while enjoying their visit,” it said.

PG Ramnath, CEO and Executive Director of GO EC, said the company’s mission is to provide sustainable charging solutions that empower EV users and accelerate the transition to a greener future. “A notable hurdle for EV owners is the lack of adequate charging infrastructure, making long-distance travel a daunting task. To address this issue, GO EC, an environmentally conscious company, has taken on the task of setting up charging stations across the country,” he said.
