Community Charge Points
February 2022 Update - Important. Please Read!
Hello All, The RechargeIndia app is retired from the Apple Appstore and Google PlayStore. All of our community charge point data have been relocated to the PULSE Energy platform. The PluginIndia team does not have the bandwidth to maintain these apps, hence the decision. We did a lot of due diligence and had several meetings with the founder of Pulse Energy. We are satisfied that they are in it for the long term and have a very comprehensive vision on where they want to take their platform. The ChargePoints found in the Pulse app have the following features
If you don't want your community charge point to reside in the PULSE ecosystem, please mail them. |

We at PluginIndia realized in 2015 that companies and the government can only do so much, when it comes to installing charging stations. The beauty of an electric vehicle is that any home/business/hotel can install an EV charge point.
We popularized the concept of community charging stations. The idea is for businesses / resorts / vacation homes etc, which are at a distance of 40-70 km around cities to setup normal 15 Amp charge points or Smart EVSE for electric cars and next generation electric bikes. How to setup one?

Many companies have started listing their points in our app. Contact them if there are issues. Numbers are always provided in the app. - If this free or paid?
That depends on the business or the person responsible for those charging stations. Some might offer it as a free service some might take a small fee. The fee depends on the owner but we will ensure it is nominal. - I want to help the EV community and setup a station at my business. What are your guidelines regarding prices?
Great! Charge a nominal rate based on the cost of electricity in your area, you can setup a 15 amp socket and charge by the hour. You can also install some smart hardware solutions like ones offered by BOLT. - Why are you doing this?
We @ PluginIndia want to see as many EV's possible on Indian roads. The community can setup these stations which will help EV owners go beyond their city on weekends or for work without worrying about charge running out. These stations will also act as an incentive for a potential EV buyer to go for these environment friendly vehicles. - Anything else?
We only publish stations owned by people who are interested in supporting the cause of EV's. PluginIndia.com is not responsible for any issues or problems that arises.
