Uber Collaborates with SUN Mobility to Install E-Autos in India

Uber has announced a corporation with SUN Mobility to install e-autos in India. This corporation will be steered across select cities in the upcoming months, Uber said.

As part of the association, SUN Mobility will offer its exclusive energy infrastructure platform, which comprises swappable smart batteries and quick interchange stations to hand-picked original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) for building e-autos.

Fleet owners and Uber's driver partners will advantage because they can buy vehicles without the battery to save money on initial acquisition costs. They will receive charged, swappable batteries as a service by SUN Mobility, thereby helping bring the overall cost of e-autos in line with their internal combustion engine (ICE) counterpart.

"We are delighted to partner with SUN Mobility, an industry pioneers to try to usher in a wave of electric vehicles in the mass market category," Pradeep Parameswaran, President Uber, India and South Asia, said in a statement.

"This is an important step forward in fulfilling our vision for creating a mobility ecosystem that is sustainable, provides cleaner air and helps build smarter cities across the region," Parameswaran said.

"Our mission is to give users a cost-effective and convenient energy infrastructure solution to accelerate the adoption of Evs," said Maini, Co-Founder and Vice-Chairman of SUN Mobility.

"Partnering with Uber, the leading global player in personal mobility, will help create a wide EV landscape at scale, that will transform the way people commute," Maini said.
