Evre to set-up India’s largest integrated EV charging ecosystem
Date: 31 Jan 2022
Evre,
India’s leading EV charging infratech player announced that it will establish
the country’s largest integrated and connected EV charging ecosystem with 1,000
tech-enabled EV charging hubs by end of 2023.
With
dedicated focus towards serving ev-fleets uniformly across the country, Evre is
looking at multifold growth in the charging hubs to satiate the demand for EV
chargers. These EV-fleets include EVs
used for e-commerce, FMCG, passenger and commercial EVs used for intra city and
last-mile mobility.
Evre
aims to accomplish this milestone in partnership with individual partners,
wherein Evre will continue to remain the technology-enabler and the partners
will own the hubs including land, charging stations, civil and electrical
infra. As per early estimate, a total of
Rs. 500 crores of cumulatively inclusive investment will be required to achieve
this milestone.
The
company is operating 50+ such operationally-profitable hubs with the large hubs
accommodating and charging 80 vehicles at the same time. This was the first-step to showcase the
product-market fit and feasibility of this business model.
All
the tech-enabled charging hubs will be standardized for fast & slow
chargers, with intelligent framework including telematics for real time
monitoring, dynamic load management solutions, smart-key management for
unmanned management of fleets.
Evre
is world’s only EV charging company that has been able to integrate patented Computer
Vision technology with its charging stations for touch-free interface without
any human intervention, need for OTPs or scanning QR codes etc. All these facilities will be available for
use of the e-fleet operator through one-web dashboard and Evre App.
Sharing
views on this massive expansion, Krishna K Jasti, Co-Founder & CEO of Evre said,
“We at Evre understand the precise requirements of a commercial EV driver and
the e-fleet owners, and their need for seamless charging experience in tandem
with their on-the-go schedule. Our
world-class EV fleet management solutions at Evre Charging Hubs across the
country are best-suited to meet the demands of large e-fleets and their drivers
within the short-window of these pit-stops.
With 1,000 automated EV charging hubs, we aim to build the country’s
largest technology-enabled EV charging ecosystem”.
Elaborating
the need for a franchise-owned and Evre-operated EV charging hubs, he
mentioned, “The growth of EV infrastructure ecosystem hinges on public
participation across the ecosystem. With
this move, Evre is enabling individuals to participate and contribute to the
growth of the clean-mobility revolution, leading to faster EV adoption across
the length & breadth of the country”.
With
a mission to offer 100% safe and reliable network for seamless charging
experience on-the-go for each EV user, Evre hubs will provide amenities such as
smart parking and charging points, Eat &Charge facility, retiring rooms
especially for the comfort of last–mile delivery fleets and third-party vehicle
servicing. In addition, Evre also offers
insurance coverage against hazard to driver-users operating the charging
stations.
