Find EV Charging Stations Near You in Seconds
You’re 15% battery remaining, 35 km from home, and you can’t remember where the nearest charging station is. Sound familiar? It’s the scenario every Indian EV owner dreads — and it’s the exact reason range anxiety still holds back so many potential buyers in 2025. Finding EV charging stations near you in India has become significantly easier as infrastructure expands, but knowing which charger works, what it costs, and whether it’s actually available right now is a different challenge entirely. India added over 12,000 public EV charging stations in 2024 alone — but they’re not evenly distributed, not all operational, and not all compatible with every EV.

India’s EV Charging Networks — Who’s Where in 2025
Understanding which network covers your area and routes helps you plan smarter — whether you’re looking for your daily top-up spot or planning a long highway drive. Here’s an honest breakdown of each major network’s coverage strength and real-world reliability.
Tata Power EV — India’s Widest Network
Tata Power EV is currently India’s largest public charging network by installed capacity, with a particularly strong presence in metro cities and major highway corridors. Their chargers support both AC (3.3 kW and 7.2 kW) and DC fast charging (up to 50 kW and 120 kW), making them compatible with the widest range of EVs on Indian roads.
Strongest coverage: Mumbai, Pune, Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, major NH highways. Reliability: Community members rate Tata Power EV reliability at 78–83% uptime in metro areas — decent but not perfect. The Tata Power EV app provides real-time charger status, which is genuinely useful before setting off.
Ather Grid — Best for Two-Wheeler Owners
If you own an Ather 450X or Ather 450S, the Ather Grid is your primary network — and it’s among the best-maintained charging infrastructure in India for two-wheelers. Ather Grid chargers are fast (up to 950W for their fast-charge grid points), consistently operational, and strategically placed at cafés, malls, and residential complexes in key cities.
Strongest coverage: Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune, Delhi NCR, Ahmedabad. Honest limitation: Ather Grid chargers are exclusively compatible with Ather scooters. If you own any other EV, this network doesn’t serve you.
ChargeZone — Highway Champion
ChargeZone has built its competitive advantage on highway coverage — making it the go-to network for EV road trips in India. Their DC fast chargers (up to 60 kW) are placed at strategic intervals on India’s busiest highways, and their network has expanded significantly in 2024–25 to cover routes that were previously charging deserts.
Strongest coverage: Mumbai-Pune Expressway, Delhi-Agra Highway (Yamuna Expressway), Bengaluru-Mysuru Expressway, Ahmedabad-Mumbai highway, Pune-Nashik highway. EVCommunity Verdict: ChargeZone is genuinely the most reliable choice for highway trips. Our members planning road trips consistently recommend pre-identifying ChargeZone stations as primary stops.
Statiq — Growing Fast in Cities
Statiq has positioned itself as the urban commuter’s charging network, with dense coverage in shopping malls, office complexes, and residential societies in Tier 1 cities. Their pricing is competitive with AC charging rates, and their app experience is among the smoother ones in the Indian market.
Strongest coverage: Delhi NCR, Gurugram, Noida, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad. Notable strength: Statiq has the largest number of residential society installations in India — making it the most relevant network for apartment-dwellers who don’t have home charging access.
BPCL Pulse & HPCL EV — Fuel Station Integration
Both BPCL and HPCL have been deploying EV fast chargers at their fuel retail outlets across India — a strategically smart placement that puts DC fast chargers on existing highway routes and city arterials. Coverage is still building but growing fast, particularly on national highways.
Why it matters: Fuel station-integrated chargers offer a familiar, trusted location for EV charging — and BPCL and HPCL locations are already embedded in the mental map of Indian drivers. Community members on long highway trips increasingly use BPCL Pulse as backup or primary charging stops.
How to Find the Best EV Charging Station for Your Situation
Not all charging stops are equal — and choosing the right one for your specific need makes a real difference in time, cost, and convenience.
For Daily Top-Up Charging
If you charge primarily at home and just need an occasional top-up during the day, look for AC chargers (7.2 kW) at malls, office buildings, or parking complexes near your destination. Statiq and Tata Power EV have the widest coverage in these locations. A 1–2 hour AC charge during work or shopping is all most commuters need to maintain comfortable battery levels without disrupting their schedule.
For Emergency or Urgent Fast Charging
When you’re genuinely low on battery and need range quickly, DC fast chargers (50 kW+) are the right choice. Look for Tata Power EV DC stations (widely available in metros), ChargeZone on highways, and BPCL Pulse at nearby fuel stations. A 30-minute DC fast charge typically delivers 80–120 km of real-world range for most electric cars — enough to get you comfortably to your destination or home charger.
For EV Road Trips Across India
Planning is everything for highway trips. Use the charging station finder above with the “highway route” filter, and identify DC fast charge stops every 150–200 km along your route — building in a comfortable buffer for the real-world range reduction that comes with highway speeds. ChargeZone, Tata Power EV, and BPCL Pulse cover the most critical national highway corridors. Always identify a primary charger and a backup for each planned stop, because charger availability isn’t guaranteed.
City-Wise EV Charging Station Coverage — 2025 Reality Check
Our community members have shared honest assessments of charging infrastructure quality across Indian cities. Here’s the real picture — not the official press release version.
Tier 1 Cities — Good & Getting Better
Bengaluru has India’s densest EV charging coverage relative to its EV population — driven by Ather’s home city advantage, strong Tata Power EV presence, and a tech-savvy EV community that demands functional infrastructure. Community members report finding a working charger within 5–8 km in most city zones. Delhi NCR benefits from strong government push and dense Statiq and Tata Power EV coverage, particularly in Gurugram and Noida corridors where EV adoption among IT professionals is highest. Mumbai has good metro and western suburbs coverage but patchy coverage in outer areas like Navi Mumbai’s industrial zones and Thane beyond the main highway.
Chennai has been improving rapidly under Tamil Nadu’s EV policy push, with strong Tata Power EV and some Ather Grid coverage in the central and southern suburbs. Hyderabad has seen significant expansion in HITEC City and Gachibowli corridors but remains sparse in the older city areas and Secunderabad.
Tier 2 Cities — Patchy but Improving
Cities like Pune, Ahmedabad, Coimbatore, Kochi, Chandigarh, and Lucknow have workable charging infrastructure in central areas but significant gaps in outer zones and industrial areas. Community members in these cities consistently recommend ensuring home charging capability before buying an EV — public charging is supplementary, not primary, in most Tier 2 locations.
Tier 3 Cities and Highways — Plan Carefully
This is where honest assessment matters most. Charging infrastructure in Tier 3 cities and on many state highways remains sparse in 2025. If you live in a smaller city or frequently travel through non-NH routes, home charging is essential — not optional. Our community’s guidance for Tier 3 buyers is consistent: if you cannot guarantee home charging, wait 12–18 months for infrastructure to catch up before buying an EV.
What the EV Community Is Saying About Charging Stations in 2025
Charging infrastructure is the most active and passionate topic in our community forums — and the conversation has matured from pure frustration to productive problem-solving. EV owners across our community consistently highlight three major themes in 2025.
First, charger reliability has improved dramatically compared to 2022–23, but broken or occupied chargers are still common enough to require backup planning on any trip. Members who’ve driven 50,000+ km on their EVs universally recommend never relying on a single planned charging stop without identifying an alternative within 20 km.
Second, charging apps have become essential tools — Tata Power EV, ChargeZone, Statiq, and PlugShare are the most-recommended by our community. Members combine multiple apps because no single app shows all networks accurately. Real-time status checking within 30 minutes of arriving at a charger has become standard practice among experienced EV road-trippers.
A community member from Pune who regularly drives to Mumbai and back shares that her routine involves pre-checking ChargeZone and Tata Power EV apps the evening before, identifying three potential stops on the route, and saving 5% extra buffer by driving at 90 km/h rather than 110 km/h on the expressway. Another member in Delhi calls the improvement in NCR infrastructure “night and day” from 2022 — he now finds a working fast charger within 10 minutes of his home in Gurugram without needing to plan.

For urban apartment dwellers: Statiq has the most residential society installations. Most experienced EV owners use a combination of 2–3 networks rather than relying on any single provider.
Q: What does it cost to charge at a public EV charging station in India? Public AC charging costs ₹10–₹18 per unit (kWh) across most Indian networks in 2025. DC fast charging costs ₹16–₹25 per unit, with some premium or express chargers going higher. Additionally, some networks charge a session fee of ₹20–₹50 on top of per-unit rates. Use our EV charging cost calculator to estimate your exact cost per session based on your EV’s battery size and the network you’re using.
Q: Are there EV charging stations on Indian highways? Yes — and coverage has improved significantly in 2024–25. The Delhi-Agra (Yamuna Expressway), Mumbai-Pune Expressway, Bengaluru-Mysuru Expressway, Delhi-Chandigarh NH44, and Mumbai-Ahmedabad NH48 corridors now have DC fast chargers every 60–100 km on average. ChargeZone, Tata Power EV, and BPCL Pulse lead highway coverage. However, many secondary state highways and NH routes through Central India still have significant charging gaps — always plan and identify backup charging options before a highway trip.
Q: How long does it take to charge an EV at a public charging station in India?
At AC public chargers (7.2 kW), charging from 20–80% takes 3–5 hours for electric cars and 45–90 minutes for two-wheelers. DC fast chargers (50 kW), the same 20–80% charge takes 40–60 minutes for cars like the Nexon EV or Creta Electric. 120 kW DC chargers (available at select Tata Power EV locations), this drops to 20–30 minutes. Planning around a 30–45 minute DC fast charge stop every 200–250 km is the practical framework most community road-trippers use.
Q: Can I charge any EV at any charging station in India? Compatibility depends on your EV’s connector type. Most modern Indian electric cars use CCS2 (Combined Charging System) for DC fast charging and Type 2 for AC charging — supported by Tata Power EV, ChargeZone, Statiq, and BPCL Pulse. Older EVs may use CHAdeMO (some older Nissan and Hyundai models). Ather Grid chargers are exclusive to Ather scooters. Always verify your EV’s connector type and check that your target network supports it before planning a charging stop — our finder tool filters by connector type automatically.
Q: How do I report a broken EV charger in India? Most network apps (Tata Power EV, ChargeZone, Statiq) have built-in reporting features for non-functional chargers. Additionally, reporting broken chargers on PlugShare helps the wider EV community avoid wasted trips. EVCommunity.in’s forum is another active channel where members flag and verify charger status in real time. Reporting broken chargers is a genuine community service — and our members take it seriously because they’ve all been on the receiving end of an unexpected “charger unavailable” experience.
Q: Is there an app that shows all EV charging stations in India on one map? No single app currently shows all Indian charging networks comprehensively in real time. PlugShare comes closest as a multi-network aggregator, but data freshness varies. The EVCommunity.in Charging Station Finder (above) pulls from multiple network APIs and community reports for the most complete picture. Most experienced Indian EV owners use PlugShare for overview planning, combined with the specific network app (Tata Power EV, ChargeZone) for real-time availability confirmation before arriving.
Q: Can I install a personal EV charger in my apartment complex in India? Yes — but it requires a process. You’ll need a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from your housing society, a separate electrical connection or sub-meter approved by your local DISCOM, and a licensed electrician for installation. In 2025, several states including Maharashtra have mandated that housing societies cannot unreasonably deny EV charger installation requests. The process typically takes 4–8 weeks and costs ₹25,000–₹50,000 all-in. EVCommunity.in has detailed step-by-step guides from members who’ve navigated this process successfully in Mumbai, Pune, Delhi, and Bengaluru societies.
Q: Which Indian cities have the best EV charging infrastructure in 2025? Bengaluru consistently leads in per-EV charger density, followed by Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Chennai. Among emerging cities, Pune, Ahmedabad, and Kochi have made notable infrastructure progress in 2024–25. The gap between metro and Tier 2 city infrastructure remains significant — but the pace of installation in cities like Coimbatore, Surat, Nagpur, and Chandigarh has accelerated meaningfully in the past 18 months as EV adoption grows in these markets.
