The EV support infrastructure is expanding, and they plan to install 500 charging stations in Karnataka by the end of the year.

The new Ape' E-Xtra FX is a 9.5 KW electric cargo vehicle in the segment. It has a full metal body architecture with a cargo deck length of 6 ft. It can also be customised for applications such as delivery vans, garbage collectors, and so on, according to the company.
