EV Plug first app to list charging stations

India’s first independent aggregator app for electric vehicle (EV) charging stations has gone live with more than 1000 verified listings. EV Plugs is a free app available on both IOS and android besides being web-based.

According to Manish Narang, co-founder and chief executive, EV Plugs, the 1000 charging stations are across more than 60 cities in India. The listed charging stations include those being offered by Energy Efficiency Services Ltd (EESL), Tata Power, Statiq, Ather, Revolt, etc.

Public sector companies, like NTPC and EESL, and those running electric vehicle (EV) services, like Blusmart, have put up charging infrastructure. Private sector companies, like Tata

Power, are also in the business but have so far confined themselves to provide EV charging facilities at their group outlets. Tata Motors, for instance, through Tata Power’s EZ Charge is ensuring that the buyers of its EVS get charging facilities.

Both Tata Motors and MG Motor even help their customers put up compatible charging points at home.
