ElectricPe to bring EV charging stations to Google Maps in India

In its ongoing mission to build customised solutions for India’s unique needs, Google has partnered with ElectricPe, India’s most trusted EV super-app, to enhance the electric vehicle (EV) charging experience. This collaboration allows Google Maps users across India to view the availability and status of charging points in real-time, enabling better journey planning and reducing range anxiety. This feature, which is now live on both Google Maps and Google Search, is a world-first for two-wheelers and will be expanded to other regions.

Since its inception, ElectricPe has been dedicated to simplifying EV ownership. The Super App developed by ElectricPe provides a comprehensive platform for users to identify, access, and pay for EV charging points (across all charger types), making e-mobility more accessible. In December 2023, the company expanded its services to include mobility centres - both online on the ElectricPe App & website and physical stores. These centres act as multi brand outlets & help customers to choose from a variety of E-2Wheeler options. They also offer EV servicing, financing & affordable subscription plans.

India is projected to have over 5 million public charging stations by 2030. ElectricPe already operates 25,000+ public chargers in Bengaluru, making it the largest network in the city. The super app has experienced a 30% month-on-month growth rate and has facilitated over 28 million green kilometers for its regular users.

Commenting on the collaboration, Avinash Sharma co-founder of ElectricPe said, “This is one of the most significant and exciting milestones in India’s EV space. A partnership with Google Maps aligns seamlessly with ElectricPe’s core values which is to make EV ownership easy and accessible. EV customers are seeking a single trusted platform that will help them not only discover charging stations but also seamlessly transact with them. Having visibility of these stations on Google Maps will only speed-up adoption in an already fast-growing space.”

Through this partnership, ElectricPe will gain access to Google Maps users, enabling them to utilise the EV Super App and its charging stations. This collaboration will lead to an increase in the number of users on the platform.
