Vadodara based electric vehicle charging network company ChargeZone has announced today that it is powering more than 500 Electric Buses through its nation-wide network of over 125 Superfast DC Points in cities such as Ahmedabad, Chandigarh, Patna, Lucknow, Gorakhpur, Kanpur, Varanasi etc. in a bid to accelerate the growth of e-mobility in India. The company has undertaken this initiative in partnership with various state departments and has installed charging stations across key locations within each city to ensure availability of energy for public transport, especially electric buses.
ChargeZone said that it will extend the charging network to Chandigarh and Bangalore as well.
ChargeZone has built these charging stations under the CCS2 charging protocol which is in line with the FAME II Scheme of the Central Government for electric buses and led by transportation units of states and cities. ChargeZone claims that its superfast DC charging stations can power an electric bus with full charge upto 80% under 90 minutes.
Kartikey Haryani, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, ChargeZone, said, “As a part of our vision of creating a network of one million charging points by 2030, we have built an extensive network of electric bus charging stations to strengthen public EV charging infrastructure in the country. Our aim is to reduce tailpipe emissions in key cities across India and consequently bring down pollution in urban markets by encouraging the personal, public & commercial mobility segments to increasingly adopt electric vehicles as a mode of commute.”
Haryani added that ChargeZone has a mission in the long term to achieve Net Zero by bringing in renewable energy integration across its entire electric bus charging network and enabling a faster transition to green mobility.
ChargeZone says that it has been investing and developing large EV charging hubs for various e-mobility companies such as Ashok Leyland, Volvo-Eicher and GreenCell Mobility since 2019. It has recently completed electrification of over 1000 km of National Highways in India. It has installed a network of twenty (20) unmanned, app driven, superfast EV charging points along the Gujarat- Maharashtra National Highway.
ChargeZone claims to have set-up up over 1450 charging points in 650 EV charging stations that serve around 5000 EVs every day. ChargeZone says that it is on a mission to establish one million charging points across important markets of EVs in India for cars, buses and even trucks.
