What is EV Charging Stations?
EV charging stations are the fuel pumps of the electric vehicle era. In India, they range from slow AC chargers (3.3–7.2 kW) installed in parking lots and malls, to DC fast chargers (25–150 kW) that can top up most EVs in 30–60 minutes, to ultra-rapid chargers being deployed on national highways.
Public charging infrastructure in India is managed by a mix of CPOs (Charge Point Operators) like Tata Power, Ather, BPCL, Jio-BP and ChargeZone, as well as private operators and government DISCOM-backed networks. EV Saathi aggregates all of them in one searchable, brand-neutral directory.
Battery swap stations — pioneered in India by Gogoro, Sun Mobility and Bounce Infinity — offer a two-minute battery swap for compatible two-wheelers and three-wheelers, eliminating range anxiety entirely for fleets and delivery vehicles.
