As the Indian government has extensive plans for EV and charging stations in India, what are your expectations? Please explain.
First, we would like to thank Indian Government for their extensive plan for EV & rock solid vision toward Pollution free India, which has definitely on the right track and pushing more EVs in market day by day. Providing Fame subsidy on EVs has built more confidence in OEM & EV Owners. And regarding the EV Chargers Subsidized EV meter tariff which reduce the overall cost per unit. But of course, yeh dil maange more: We would request our Indian Government to create certain mandate like every society, commercial complex & parking, mall & government space / offices should have at least 1 DC & 1 AC EV Charger to help EV owner to travel without a second thought and would help in reducing range anxiety which would lead to increase of EV adoption and help Government to achieve their goal faster.

Apart from the EV charger offering to individual, CPO and other OEMs, E-Fill has opened up for Master State Franchise for EV charger and dealership for electric 3 wheelers. Sales of E-Fill Electric 3 Wheelers (Hauler/ Hauler + & Muver/ Muver +) would start from DDMMYY.
Challenges and scopes in this segment and your USP to be the upfront winner?
Challenges are common when anybody tries to do something new, we have also faced several challenges when we were looking for the right location to install our EV charger like societies restriction for EV charger, right load & earthing availability, while availing EV meter and lot more. But the beauty of being a bootstrapped startup, we have always figure out a new approach & perspective to resolve the issues with immediate action which amazing turnaround time. From design & usability angle we have optimized overall size of our DC Chargers, we have filed design patents for our EVs. Basically, E-Fill has in-house hardware and software which interact with each other seamlessly, this definitely give us more edge than anyone else to come up with innovative and cost effective solutions.
