India Post stamps out range anxiety, enters EV charging

The origins of postal service in India trace back to 1296, during the reign of Alauddin Khalji, when horses were used for deliveries. In 1766, Warren Hastings introduced the Company Mail, which eventually evolved into the modern India Post through various transitions. Today, this grand old institution is embarking on a new journey into electric vehicle (EV) charging.

ThunderPlus, an EV charging company, has teamed up with the Indian postal service to launch an EV charging station at a post office in Sainikpuri, Hyderabad. This collaboration aims to expand EV charging infrastructure to more post offices and public locations across the country, fostering a green ecosystem and reducing range anxiety.
