EV Charging on Wheels: The electric vehicle (EV) revolution in India is gathering momentum, but a critical challenge continues to hold back faster adoption—charging infrastructure. Limited grid readiness, restrictions on installing chargers in residential complexes, and fire safety regulations in urban basements create real obstacles for EV owners. To address these gaps, Exicom Tele-Systems Limited, one of India’s leading manufacturers of EV charging and critical power solutions, has extended its backing to Charger on Wheels, a mobile EV charging startup pioneering the concept of EV Charging on Wheels.
The Partnership
Exicom has stepped in as the technology enabler in this collaboration, supplying hardware and technical expertise for Charger on Wheels’ mobile charging fleet. On the operational side, Charger on Wheels will focus on delivering on-demand DC fast-charging services, accessible through its tech-enabled platform, where users can book and track services in real time.
This innovative service is designed to provide a capex-light, scalable solution that directly addresses pain points in India’s EV ecosystem. Whether it’s overcoming grid limitations in urban areas or navigating fire safety norms in residential complexes, mobile EV charging brings flexibility where fixed chargers fall short.
Why EV Charging on Wheels Matters?
The demand for accessible, user-friendly, and reliable EV charging solutions is growing with the surge in electric mobility. Charger on Wheels’ mobile service ensures EV owners can charge vehicles at their convenience without being limited to fixed charging stations.
Early traction is already visible—Charger on Wheels has forged partnerships with leading developers and facility managers to provide mobile residential charging. This not only validates the market demand but also highlights the potential for scaling the model across urban and semi-urban areas in India.
Broader Ecosystem Strategy
For Exicom, this move is part of a larger vision to strengthen the EV ecosystem. Over the last few months, the company has announced collaborations with:
- Hubject: To enable interoperability between charging networks.
- Ionage: For an integrated Charger Management System.
- Mufin Green Infra: To provide turnkey EV charging solutions.
Backing Charger on Wheels fits seamlessly into this strategy, complementing Exicom’s efforts to encourage innovative business models that accelerate EV adoption in India.
As Anant Nahata, Managing Director & CEO of Exicom, put it:
“Seamless charging infrastructure is crucial for EV adoption. Mobile EV charging or Charger on Wheels is a capex-light solution that can bridge the gap created by grid limitations and restricted installation spaces. This partnership aligns strongly with our intent to strengthen the EV ecosystem.”
