In a groundbreaking move, CHARGE+ZONE, India's fastest-growing EV charging company, has announced the launch of India's first-ever SuperCharging Network, setting a new standard for high-speed EV charging. The Charge+Zone SuperCharging Network is poised to revolutionize the EV charging landscape, bringing together cutting-edge technology, strategic locations, and integrated amenities for a seamless charging experience.

Strategic Locations for Convenient Charging

The first supercharging stations are set to become operational in Mumbai and CCD, Vellore, this month, marking a significant milestone in India's EV infrastructure development. The strategically located superchargers will be positioned along major highways and within key city centers, ensuring accessibility for both long-haul travelers and urban commuters.

More Than Just Charging Points: Integrated Facilities for a Complete Experience

What sets CHARGE+ZONE apart is its commitment to providing more than just a charging point. These supercharging stations will feature integrated facilities such as washrooms, restaurants, and shopping amenities. The emphasis on a holistic experience aligns with the evolving needs of Indian EV users, making charging not just a necessity but an enjoyable part of their journey.

Technological Marvel: 360KW Power Cabinets with Innovative Features

The stations are equipped with state-of-the-art 180 KW dual gun chargers and 360 KW power cabinets, showcasing a groundbreaking feature – four guns capable of delivering 60 KW each at 200 Amp, and one gun delivering 500 A (DC) current with liquid cooling. This marks the introduction of cutting-edge technology in India, underscoring CHARGE+ZONE's commitment to pushing the boundaries of what's possible in the EV charging realm.

AC to DC Conversion for Swift Charging

CHARGE+ZONE's superchargers are not just powerful; they are smart too. Designed to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC), these chargers supply high-power DC voltage and current directly to EV batteries for swift charging. This ensures that EV users can experience fast and efficient charging, reducing downtime and enabling them to get back on the road swiftly.

A Visionary Approach: Kartikey Hariyani, Founder and CEO Speaks Out

Kartikey Hariyani, Founder and CEO at CHARGE+ZONE, highlighted the company's proactive approach in addressing the escalating need for rapid, efficient charging solutions. Whether on long highway journeys or within bustling city centers, the SuperCharging Network aims to provide accessible and high-speed charging, aligning seamlessly with the demands of a new generation of EV buses and trucks in the country.

Seamless Management and High Capacity

Ravindra Mohan, Director (Operations and Technology) at CHARGE+ZONE, shed light on the seamless EV charging process managed by the vehicle's Battery Management System. These superchargers boast high capacity, with at least one capable of delivering 400/500 A DC current. Designed to cater to the needs of long-haul transportation and city-based EVs, they offer a comprehensive charging solution with an estimated charging time of 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the vehicle's battery capacity.

Building a Robust EV Charging Infrastructure

The SuperCharging Network is a pivotal component of CHARGE+ZONE's larger strategy to establish over 150+ superchargers throughout the country. This ambitious plan aims to create a robust and reliable EV charging infrastructure, ensuring that EV users have convenient access to charging facilities wherever their journeys take them.

Strategic City Choices: Meeting High Traffic and Commercial Demands

The decision to launch supercharger stations in Mumbai and CCD, Vellore, was driven by careful consideration of traffic volumes on the Chennai-Bengaluru highway, one of South India's busiest routes. Additionally, the need for fast and convenient charging options in prime commercial complexes like BKC, Mumbai, played a crucial role in selecting these specific cities for expansion.

Enabling Fleet Transition: A Boon for Truck and Bus Operators

CHARGE+ZONE asserts that its supercharger network will enable truck and bus fleet operators to transition their mid-mile transportation fleet to EVs seamlessly. By offering quick and reliable charging, the network addresses a critical need in the industry. The dedicated EV tariff line by the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board (TNEB) and the separate substation installed by CHARGE+ZONE at CCD Vellore further facilitate convenient charging for fleet operators, making the transition to EVs more enticing and practical.
