State of Electric Vehicles Market in India
In India the market is barely ready for widespread adoption of EVs with total sales accounting for less than 1% of all vehicles sold.
But the company founded by Atulya Mittal, Harvard Business School alum, is quietly confident of his company’s prospects. They predict a market size growth for electric vehicles to 5% in the coming years.
Interested customers can place an order either at Nexzu Mobility dealerships or its official website. The company intends on increasing its accessibility with plans of launching its products on Amazon, Paytm and other online stores.
Earlier known as Avan Motors, its product lineup also includes two scooter models — Dextro and Dextro + — and three hybrid cycle models — Roadlark, Aello, and Rompus.
