WelcomHeritage Hotels collaborated with SunFuel Electric, to install charging stations across its hotels in India. Gul Panag, Co-Founder at SunFuel and Abinash Manghani, CEO of WelcomHeritage signed the agreement in Delhi NCR.
“By the year-end, we aim to successfully offer our guests responsible drivable itineraries from Delhi to our properties in Panchkula, Kasauli, Solan and Shimla. Adding to the feasibility and mindfulness of electric vehicles and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV), our guests will be able to enjoy the beautiful drives up to these WelcomHeritage destinations without the anxiety and stress of access to EV charging stations,” said Abinash Manghani, CEO of WelcomHeritage Hotels sharing details on the pathbreaking initiative and future plans.
“We are committed to actively supporting responsible holidays and Electric Vehicles are integral to the sustainability narrative of responsible travel,” Manghani further added.
“We congratulate WelcomHeritage on their decision of becoming EV friendly. Electric road trips are going to be all the more exciting now!” shared SunFuel Electric’s Co-Founder Gul Panag.
“Destination charging is an important pillar among the 3 pillars of EV Charging – City Charging, Highway Charging and Destination Charging. If we have to catalyse the adoption of high-end electric vehicles in India, then luxury hotels and resorts need to be equipped with a seamless Destination Charging Experience. At SunFuel, we are striving to create that experience at scale,” stated SunFuel Electric’s Founder & CEO Sudhir Nayak.
He added that a very visible charging infrastructure is required to encourage people to adopt electric cars. “The agreement with WelcomHeritage ensure that our slick chargers are deployed right at the glare of an incoming guest in a high-visibility zone of the hotel.”
