By 2026, we aim to have 10,000 electric vehicles as part of our overall fleet,” Siddharth Ladsariya, co-founder, Everest Fleet, said.Currently, Everest is present in seven cities—Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, and Pune. With this investment, Everest said it plans to expand its footprint to other major Indian cities and new global territories.Even as Uber will only acquire a minority stake in Everest, this marks a step away from the company’s stance of not having a control on its fleet.Discover the stories of your interestBlockchain5 StoriesCyber-safety7 StoriesFintech9 StoriesE-comm9 StoriesML8 StoriesEdtech6 StoriesIn February, Uber signed a deal with Tata Motors to induct 25,000 EVs into its fleet
