"I've been using an electric car for the past 7 years. Electric mobility shouldn't be confined to city limits. We should be able to take electric cars to the mountains, and go on weekend trips with our electric cars without any range anxiety. We want to develop a community of electric car users. EV Trails is our flagship endeavour to create such a community of users, and open new pathways, new destinations and frontiers for early adopters of EVs." Said Gul Panag.

The Radisson Hotel Group has recently introduced the "India Road Trip" which includes inviting Radisson hotels guests to experience exciting road trips across India with safe, comfortable stays along the way.
