Mobility is core aspect of modern civilization and the transportation of people and goods impacts many aspects of life. ​Though transportation of people and goods is one of the key drivers of growth, it is also leading to serious health concern through air pollution. Air pollution is already a global public health crisis contributing to premature deaths of 7 million every year. One of the top contributors in air pollution is vehicle emissions and to address this Electric Vehicles can play critical role.

Electric Vehicles (EV) are energy efficient and environment friendly, EV has the potential to reduce the emissions of hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide by up to 98% compared to internal combustion engines so as to reduce the air pollution. ​Utilizing the rechargeable battery packs with electricity as source of energy significantly reduces the operating cost of vehicles. However one of the major hold-ups for poor migration to Electric Vehicle adoption is due to lack of supporting infrastructure and charging stations​. According to Electric Vehicle Outlook, EVSE industry is expected to have cumulative annual growth rate of 15%+ to support need of 11 million charging connectors globally by 2035​. Increased wide network and availability of fast charge stations will support in building consumer confidence in migration to e-mobility and will lead to faster adoption. ​

Our mission is to enable and accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles through training and consulting services by creating new business models for electric vehicles charging infrastructure, increasing consumer confidence in e-mobility and generating employment opportunities to deliver economic value.
