goEgo has collaborated with TVS Motor Company to promote EV infrastructure in Himachal Pradesh, according to the release.
The company said its aim, which is in line with the government's vision of becoming a 100 per cent EV nation by 2030, is to encourage EV owners to avail seamless and anxiety-free long-distance travel.
As part of this, goEgoNetwork is committed to set up public charging stations across all popular destinations in the country, the company said without giving specific details.

"Our objective is to provide the best charging experience for everyone who wants to participate in this sustainable change.
