Samarth Kholkar, CEO & Co-Founder, BLive, said “The people of Telangana have welcomed us with open arms; we are excited to open our 5th store here. The store will provide the masses with the opportunity to ‘try and buy’ EVs for a confident transition to electric mobility. The store will also facilitate Ease of Ownership and the option to buy or rent EVs, along with home demos and easy finance options. In addition to providing a range of environmental and economic benefits over conventional vehicles, electric vehicles are also powerful and reliable. Interested consumers can visit our store to learn more about the benefits of EVs, learn about the various types of EVs available, have the myths surrounding their use debunked, and also learn about available financing options. We are committed to helping consumers make the transition towards a cleaner, greener and economical mobility option.”
While speaking at the occasion, Sandeep Mukherjee, Co-Founder, BLive said, “We are pleased to have the support of Kancharla Bhupal Reddy and Gadari Kishore Kumar for this store launch in Nalgonda, Telangana. We are happy to note that the State EV policy of Telangana actively encourages and promotes the usage of electric vehicles as a mode of transportation. While EVs are quickly gaining traction among the masses, there is mild apprehension about their performance and reliability, among consumers. We aim to debunk these myths by providing the consumers with a holistic ‘touch and try’ experience and negate apprehensions about switching to electric, if any.”
According to Telangana’s EV policy, the government had said it will waive the road tax and registration fees entirely for the first 2 lakh electric two-wheelers that have been purchased and registered within the state.
The policy wishes to promote the recycling and cascading of batteries used in EVs, and the policy seeks to establish Telangana as a global centre for R&D within the electric vehicle sector.
