Mahindra plans to invest in high-end EV technology

Mahindra Electric has unveiled a comprehensive technology and product roadmap which as the company states will lead the way for the next generation of electric vehicles.

Mahindra has been in the electric mobility business for close a decade. However, due to concerns raised over clean air, urban congestion and rising fuel import bills, the company is now stepping up its game in the electric mobility space. Mahindra is now investing in the next generation EV tech solutions which are to deliver longer range and higher speeds. 

Alongside, the company is talking to both public and private operators to adopt the use of EVs, and this includes setting up of the charging infrastructure that’s needed. As per EV 2.0, Mahindra is going to make investments to ramp up manufacturing, and develop new high-end electric powertrains, motor controllers, systems integration and battery technology.

Dr. Pawan Goenka, MD of Mahindra & Mahindra and Chairman of Mahindra Electric has stated that this is the right time for greater emphasis on electric vehicles which with Mahindra technology and products should meet with success in India. The company is in conversation with both the Central and State Governments besides municipal bodies and private parties to set up an efficient electric vehicle ecosystem. 

Mahindra already has over 2700 of their electric vehicles on the road that have collectively clocked more than 40 million km, and it hopes to put more on the road in the time to come.
