Dinesh Aggarwal, Joint Managing Director, Panasonic Life Solutions India said that “the opportunity for electric mobility in the country is huge and it is paving the pathway for electrification across other modes of transport. We are excited about extending our e-mobility services across the states of Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, West Bengal, and Odisha in the first phase. With this, we aim to create an infrastructure that will cater to the unsatiated needs of multiple stakeholders and inspire the public to use sustainable technologies such as EV instead of private vehicles in the country.”

In November 2020, Panasonic, Equinor and industrial group Hydro had signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to form a strategic partnership to explore possibilities for establishing a sustainable and cost-competitive European battery business.
