PluginIndia now has an online shop! We offer EV and clean energy themed apparel and accessories, clean energy products, EV accessories, bumper stickers, EV signboards and more! This shop with your support, will help the team at PluginIndia do more EV awareness campaigns, organize more RE:LIVE events with the community, do ​more reviews ​of electric vehicles and ​clean energy products.

PluginIndia has come a long way from a blog on the EV industry - back in 2013 to its current state. And there is more to be done regarding spreading awareness on EV's and Clean Energy. The Indian EV industry leaders appreciate the work we do and would want to work and collaborate with us in the coming months and years. So expect more reviews, videos, events and more!

PluginIndia does depend on any sort of financial sponsorships from the EV and Clean Tech Industry. The revenue from Google AdSense is negligible, but it pays for the server and other infrastructure. Farah, Raphae and myself have regular jobs and we work on PluginIndia projects on the side, out of passion for EV's and Clean Energy.

​An online shop will help PluginIndia stand on its own and thus help us to work on more projects in the coming months and years. For example, we are planning to start a Hindi section, where articles will be posted in Hindi. We are hiring a knowledgeable head master who teaches in a village in MP near Bandhavgarh National Park. Another example, PluginIndia can pay contributors for their contribution. We do know that many of our friends contribute to the site out of enthusiasm. But we have to be fair too. So you get the idea!
Also when PluginIndia is self reliant, we can work on more projects and execute ideas better.

Talking about the shop. Some features of the shop are
*** Instant Chat feature. Users can chat with us in real time about any query on any product.
​*** Shop directly from our Facebook Page
*** Shopping Cart system.
*** Most products have videos reviewed by Raphae to highlight the functionalities of each.
*** You can use Net Banking , Debit Cards and other payment modes.
*** User comments can be posted below each product. Every feedback or suggestion is considered.

We have integrated with Shopify as our Online Shopping partners. Your shopping will be safe and secure. Please check the security link on the right hand side of the shopping page.

The products we display at the PluginIndia shop are carefully chosen by us. We work with partners who are developing, designing innovative products. These are the companies who are trying to create a social impact by doing something different. We would like to help such companies and work with them.
If you know of any such companies, please do write to us and we will gladly feature their products in our shop.

Our 'Offline' Shop
Farah and Raphae Halim, my partners at Pluginindia, have decided to offer their existing shop in Mumbai to feature PluginIndia products. We will be shipping most products from here. Do visit our shop (which is still under renovation!) and chat with us on all things EV and Clean Energy!

Offline shops can also be useful for people who don't want to shop online. We are open to having 'franchisees' in other cities :) 
I know that the word 'franchisees' bring about lots of corporate/business policies like fees, sales targets etc.
​All that is not applicable at PluginIndia, as we are not a corporate, we just want to spread awareness. So like minded people who own shops or businesses and want to help stock PluginIndia products in other cities, do contact us!

Here are some pics of our Offline Shop in Santa Cruz, Mumbai.

Finally, we wish to thank the EV community and enthusiasts who, over the years have contributed to the site, taken part in our events - all for no fee. They have taken time and energy and provided content that has helped us further spread awareness on EV's and Clean Energy.  

Happy shopping!

Hope "Made In China" products are avoided and only "Made In India" products are stored ;-)

Hey PluginCaroo,

As mentioned in the blog, we work with partners who are developing, designing innovative products. These are the companies who are trying to create a social impact by doing something different. We would like to help such companies and work with them.
Now if they get the ideas made from China, then so be it.

Having said that - Many components in electric cars, e-bikes and e-Cycles are from China.
