India’s Flipkart plans to electrify 40% of its delivery vans by March 2020. The company is also working on a new electric bus that will be able to travel up to 300 km per charge. It will install charging stations at warehouses to cope with the lack of EV infrastructure in India while running trials with potential EV industry partners. The Walmart-owned firm has said electric vans can travel 100 km on a full charge. Its delivery motorcycles are not part of the electrification scale-up.
