With the growing popularity of electric cars (EVs) in India, it is critical to locate dependable public charging stations. Currently, public EV charging may not be as common as a fuel pump every few kilometers. Nevertheless, the quantity of EV charging stations increases daily along with the number of electric cars. To increase the mobility of EV owners certain businesses are leading the way in the installation of public charging stations. We have gathered a list of a few significant electric vehicle charging station suppliers in India that have built a large network of chargers across the country. Let's examine them in more detail.
Tata Power
Tata Power is a well-known brand in India. Tata Power's electric vehicle charging subsidiary is known as EZ Charge, and it presently operates over 4,800 public and semi-public stations in 450 locations across India. Not only do Tata Power chargers provide extensive coverage throughout major towns and roads – the majority of which are in Maharashtra (528), Delhi (365), and Andhra Pradesh (257) – but they are also well-known for their compatibility with numerous EV models.
Exicom
Another well-known EV charging station operator in India is Exicom. Exicom charging stations may be hard to come by, and they haven't given us access to these numbers either. Nonetheless, manufacturers such as MG and Tata utilize Exicom chargers, which are provided to clients at the time of purchasing their new electric vehicles. They have supplied more than 35,000 chargers in India alone.
ChargeZone
3,500 charging outlets and 1,750 charging stations are presently available nationwide thanks to a Gujarat-based firm called ChargeZone. EV road journeys are easier now that they have covered a large amount of the country's northern, southern, and western roadways. The majority of ChargeZone's chargers are located in Delhi and Uttar Pradesh, although they are also stationed on the Mumbai-Delhi and Mumbai-Bangalore expressways. One million charging stations are to be established by ChargeZone by 2030, which is noteworthy.
Magenta
The majority of Magenta Mobility's reputation comes from its fleet of over 800 electric three-wheelers for cargo in Bengaluru, Mysuru, Hyderabad, Delhi NCR, and Mumbai. However, over 1,100 chargers are covered by Magenta's charging station division, ChargeGrid, which operates throughout India and includes well-known cities like Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, Huballi, Ahmedabad, and Bangalore.
Fortum (Now GLIDA)
The Fortum EV charging division will now go by the moniker GLIDA. Across 15 states, 6 roads, and 20 cities, there are 311 GLIDA chargers with 454 charging points in India; the majority of these are located in Hyderabad (45), Delhi (29), and Mumbai (8). In India, GLIDA also offers BEV DC 001 chargers, which are perfect for charging electric cars with batteries that are lower than 100 volts.
Conclusion
Together with these renowned suppliers of electric vehicle charging stations, the drive towards electrification has also prompted a number of traditional gas stations to build charging stations on their property. Electric vehicle charging facilities can be found in traditional gas stations like JioBp, HP, and even Shell. Local governments are also advocating for the installation of charging infrastructure. For example, in Maharashtra, the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) has installed chargers at a number of public locations. Furthermore, you may charge your electric vehicles at a lot of hotels, resorts, shopping malls, and even movie theaters by selecting from a choice of unique chargers.
In the upcoming years, we should anticipate even more electric vehicle charging stations due to India's growing EV adoption. So it will only get simpler to charge your EVs!
