Our Impressions
The EO chargers have awesome build quality and the blue, green LED's look really good. We tested them against few electric cars for short top-ups, overnight charging and the charger just works.
There are tons of software features like monitoring power loads, setting up schedules etc.
There are some challenges too. The EO uses Stripe payment gateway and the EOApp for authentication and making payments.
In India, not everyone has a credit card, maybe EO will need to consider integrations with PayTM or other digital wallets to make things simpler.
Do read about the variants of EO chargers in the Smart Charger EVSE section of our website. The company is working out pricing and other details in the coming weeks. We will be releasing videos of these chargers, in our YouTube channel, in a staggered manner. We will also be doing in-depth reviews, testing them against varied EV's and will be documenting the features of these chargers.
So lots of more to come from PluginIndia and the EO team!
Let the Indian smart and safe charging journey begin!
