ElectricPe, an electric vehicle (EV) charging aggregation platform in India, has made a ground-breaking announcement by offering a Charger Management Software (CMS) for free to all users. This industry-first move aligns with the company’s vision of becoming India’s largest and most trusted EV charging aggregation platform.
With the number of public and private chargers expected to reach 5 million by 2030, the need for a comprehensive CMS to manage, monitor, and track charging devices is becoming increasingly important. ElectricPe’s bold step will greatly benefit charger manufacturers and Charge Point Operators (CPOs), allowing them to provide multiple tariff options, control user access, and monitor energy usage in real-time.
This move will significantly impact the EV charging industry in India and promote the growth of clean energy by making it easier for EV users to find and use charging stations. ElectricPe’s commitment to making EV charging more accessible and efficient underscores their role as a leader in the Indian EV industry.
Avinash Sharma, Co-Founder and CEO of ElectricPe, shared the rationale behind this decision, “With the goal of enhancing the EV ecosystem, we are proud to offer an innovative CMS designed to empower CPOs and charger manufacturers in India to manage the growing demand for EV charging effectively. We aim to increase charging utilisation and ultimately better serve India’s projected 5 million public and private chargers by offering free CMS and encouraging more CPOs to set up charging points. This will help simplify operations, reduce recurring costs, and keep CPOs ahead of the curve with frequent updates and upgrades.”
Rohit Agarwal, CTO, ElectricPe, added, “The goal is to save CPOs from the tyranny of dealing with multiple white labelled apps and offer them one industry-standard product. The CMS will allow them to monitor the chargers across locations, create various control options for different users and access a detailed analytics dashboard. In addition, CPOs will get a direct listing on the ElectricPe App, which will help them tap into the right demand stream, attracting more users. Moving ahead, we are adding new features like load management and OCPI interoperability to increase convenience and demand.”
ElectricPe is collaborating with multiple charger manufacturers to provide a comprehensive EV solution that simplifies the charging infra-setup. The company’s decision to make a leading product available to all players is a game-changer for the EV industry, unlocking a $30 billion market opportunity.
