Exicom Tele-Systems Ltd., an Indian manufacturer specializing in electric vehicle charging and critical power solutions, has partnered with Charger on Wheels, a mobile EV charging startup. This collaboration aims to test and scale mobile charging solutions, addressing grid readiness challenges in urban markets.
Charger on Wheels operates a fleet of mobile charging units that provide DC fast-charging services at locations chosen by customers. Anant Nahata, managing director and CEO of Exicom, emphasized the partnership's importance in overcoming infrastructure gaps within India's evolving EV ecosystem, citing the mobile charging concept's advantages in dealing with urban grid readiness issues. Anil Kumar, founder of Charger on Wheels, noted opportunities in the market due to limited grid availability and fire safety regulations that limit basement charging installations.
This partnership reflects Exicom's ongoing efforts to enhance India's electric mobility infrastructure. Recently, Exicom announced collaborations with companies such as Hubject for interoperability solutions, Ionage for integrated charger management systems, and Mufin Green Infra for turnkey customer solutions.
Charger on Wheels employs a technology platform that facilitates real-time booking, tracking and energy optimization, targeting urban and semi-urban markets in India. The mobile charging approach provides potential solutions to challenges in India's EV charging network, such as limited grid capacity in densely populated areas and regulatory placement restrictions for charging equipment.
Both Exicom and Charger on Wheels view the partnership as complementary to existing infrastructure, aiming to accelerate EV adoption through diversified charging options rather than replacing current technologies.
