Amazon Expands Electric Delivery Fleet in India Amid Charging Infrastructure Challenges
Amazon is expanding its electric delivery vehicle fleet in India, planning to add over 1,000 electric trucks to its existing 10,000 EVs within five years. The company primarily relies on on-site charging infrastructure at its delivery stations due to limited public charging availability, a challenge common globally. Amazon is also collaborating with partners to enhance charging networks. Meanwhile, experts caution that mandating EV use for gig workers may be impractical due to high costs, limited charging infrastructure, and the gig economy's flexible nature.
