Supercharging Stations
CHARGE ZONE, India’s fastest-growing electric vehicle (EV) charging network, has announced the launch of its state-of-the-art mega supercharging stations on the Bangalore-Chennai and Bangalore-Hyderabad national highways. The new stations, equipped with cutting-edge technology, will feature a remarkable 1.2MW capacity with solar microgrid integration and 1MWh usable capacity of battery energy storage systems, providing a 24x7 reliability of EV charging and a vital boost to the country's EV infrastructure.
Strategically placed every 150-200 kilometers along these key intercity routes, the mega supercharging stations will cater to the growing demand for faster, more efficient EV charging solutions. In addition, regular charging stations will be located in between these supercharging points, ensuring seamless charging access for drivers on the go. Each of the newly launched mega stations will feature advanced DC fast chargers, with capacities ranging from 180KW to 240KW. This will enable faster and more efficient charging for a variety of EVs, including passenger vehicles, buses, and trucks.
Mr. Kartikey Hariyani, Founder & CEO, CHARGE ZONE® at the launch announcement said, “ The launch of these mega supercharging stations represents a transformative step in advancing India's EV ecosystem. By equipping the Bangalore-Chennai and Bangalore-Hyderabad highways with state-of-the-art charging technology, we are bridging critical infrastructure gaps and redefining the long-distance EV experience. These stations embody our vision of seamless, sustainable, and efficient electric mobility, empowering drivers to embrace a cleaner future without compromise.” “But, it is battery energy storage with renewable energy integration that makes the Indian e-mobility ecosystem go further in terms of achieving net-zero emissions, " added Mr. Ravindra Mohan, Director, CHARGE ZONE.
The charging time at these stations will be optimized, with vehicles achieving 80% charge in as little as 30 minutes. This will significantly reduce wait times for EV owners and improve the overall charging experience. As an added feature, the stations will integrate solar power and energy storage systems, ensuring that they operate sustainably while offering reliable, uninterrupted service to users. In line with its commitment to scaling EV infrastructure nationwide, CHARGE ZONE aims to establish a network of at least 100 supercharging stations with a combined 240KW capacity, further increasing its ability to meet the rising demand for EV charging services. The company also plans to expand its network across 40,000 kilometers of highways, ensuring that long-distance EV travel becomes more accessible and convenient for users.
CHARGE ZONE’s mega supercharging stations on the Bangalore-Chennai and Bangalore-Hyderabad highways mark a pivotal landmark in CHARGE ZONE’s ambitious journey to electrify India's highways. This infrastructure expansion will play a key role in the national highway electrification program, where the CHARGE ZONE has covered 40,000-50,000 km out of 150,000 km.
