The Government of India has an ambitious plan of shifting to pure electric vehicles by 2030. In line with the initiative, Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL) has already ordered 10,000 EVs from Tata Motors and Mahindra & Mahindra.

Now, Motor Octane reports that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will unveil a fleet of 400 Tata Nano electric cars in Delhi on November 28, 2017. Cab aggregator Ola will produce the Nano electric cars.

    In a bid to curb pollution and carbon emission, the government is encouraging the use of electric vehicles. Now, Ola will be procuring 400 Nano electric cars which is a good move. But at the moment it is difficult to live with an electric car as the charging infrastructure is not in place. So, will the fleet of electric cars be a successful move? Only time will tell.
