India's First Electric Vehicle Aggregator App To Find Charging Stations Is Now Live

Electric vehicles are increasingly being accepted as the safest bet against highly polluting agents in traditional cars that run on either petrol or diesel.

E-vehicles are trying to make waves in India, with homegrown companies like Ola joining the revolution. Charging is perhaps the most important component of owning an electric vehicle.

While India may not be infrastructure ready yet, the industry is taking shape in India at an astounding speed. Now, India's first independent aggregator mobile application which lists electric vehicle charging stations is live!

Introducing EV Plugs

Known as "EV Plugs", the app currently has 1,000 listings for users of EV in India. A Delhi-based company, EV Plugs is now available on both Android and iOS to put an end to woes of electric vehicle owners. The web version of the listing may be accessed at www.evplugs.co.in.

Founded in 2021 by Manish Narang, Kapil Narang and Ashwani Arora, EV Plugs intends to add more listings in the future, with hopes of becoming a single-stop destination for all things EV.

"EV adoption will see a massive rise in the coming few years as consumers are getting more and more conscious about the environmental impact of fossil fuel-based vehicles. Additionally, rising fuel prices along with incentives provided by governments have made the option of choosing an EV a financially wiser decision", Manish Narang, co-founder of EV plugs told Indiatimes.

Current listings refer to 1,000 charging stations spread across 60 cities in India. Among the providers of these stations are Tata Power, Efficiency Services (EESL), Ather, ReVolt, etc.
