The company is presently aiming at increasing its electric car sales to twice the amount. This will also include passenger electric cars. The Chief Executive Officer Mahesh Babu stated in an interview that it is easier to sell electric cars to fleet operators much more than individuals. There are however limitations on the number of charging stations or points. Also limitations pose with low run-time on single charge of the vehicles. An example was cited in this respect – the car’s flagship EV (passenger), the e2o Plus can run a minimum of 100 kilometres on a single charge.
