The newly installed chargers are India’s first EV charging corridor which will enable the electric car users to charge their cars at any time safely and conveniently. 

In the next stage, Magenta Power is gearing up to extend the network to Bengaluru and Mysuru through the NH4. This can allow electric vehicle users to travel across this stretch in their EV.

The ChargeIn points will offer a fully integrated network for central monitoring and control which includes AC and DC chargers. Existing owners of charging stations also can join the ChargeIn network and support this community.

Some of the charging stations will have a fully automated payment system in advance. As a result, the users can charge the vehicles using an online OTP based payment system via the ChargeIn app. This payment system will be deployed to all the charging stations in a phased manner.

Commenting on the announcement, Maxson Lewis, the CEO and managing director of Magenta Power, mentioned that 

"This is our first solar based EV charging station, which is also India's first such station."

He added

“While this network of charging stations will open up the electric highways in India, it will also provide a unique employment opportunity for charging station owners who can man and support the stations.”

The charging stations for two-wheelers, three-wheelers, passenger vehicles and bus fleets are also the target of ChargeIn, the app solution provider.

Magenta Power expects that this network of charging stations will open up the ‘electric highways’ in India and provide a unique employment opportunity for charging station owners. 

Magenta Power looks forward to encouraging OEMs like Mahindra and Tata to deploy more EVs on Indian roads.
