Imagine if you are an EV owner and charging stations are easily available at places you spend longer hours. How easy it will be for you to make that shift. Well! That's exactly what SunFuel Electric is here for. The EV charging start-up provides charging solutions at destinations where people generally stay or stop for longer duration, facilitating them to plug-in and charge their EVs simultaneously. And now SunFuel Electric has partnered with Intercontinental Hotel Group (IHG) to setup EV charging stations at IHG properties across the country.

Both parties signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on November 23 at its Crown Plaza property in Gurugram. Sudhir Nayak, Founder and CEO of SunFuel Electric said, "Destination charging is key to catalyse the adoption of high-end EVs in India. At SunFuel we are enabling hotels in all popular destinations in India with seamless EV charging. We believe this will encourage adoption of electric cars amongst people and make electric mobility cool and aspirational. This is really needed if we don't want people to visualize only two/three wheelers, rikshaws and delivery-vehicles when they visualize the word EV. We want them to think of EVs as fun-to-drive cars with a go-anywhere capability. However, they will adopt only when they see seamless charging in their favourite destinations like IHG Hotels, and not only on petrol pumps!"

Gul Panag, Co-Founder & Head of Partnerships and Community, SunFuel Electric said, "If you want to go fast, go alone, if you want to go far, go together. We have just started our march/drive towards our environmental goals, and we have a long way to go. We are building and empowering a warm community of planet conscious adventurers to create some happy memories. Exploring paths new and old in a brand-new sustainable way. As a 7-year strong EV user I hope for our e-trails to emerge and dissipate the myth of range anxiety."
