Altigreen, a company that designs and produces electric vehicles (EVs) for the last mile transportation segment, launched a retail dealership in Bengaluru, India on Tuesday. According to Altigreen, the company intends to provide its consumers an enhanced experience, with world-class and modern infrastructure, through this retail dealership. It claims that every element of the dealership has been designed to lend a welcoming feel, especially to autorickshaw drivers.

The dealership was inaugurated by Dr C N Ashwath Narayan, Minister for Higher Education, IT-BT, Science and Technology and Skill Development, Government of Karnataka. The Minister also congratulated Dr M P Shyam, owner of Magnum Ventures, for setting up the dealership.

Not only this, but the cost of fuel can also decrease substantially, as all it needs are a few units of electricity. As per reports that I was going through recently, the electric vehicles market would be worth INR 475 billion by 2025. I congratulate Altigreen for opening its first dealership in the city. This dealership will make EVs more accessible to the people of Bengaluru and tempt them to transition from fossil fuels to electric.”
