EV Charging in Delhi NCR

Introduction:

The most pressing and frustrating issue with charging stations is “accessibility”. Yes, you read that right. It’s not availability; it’s the accessibility.

 

The number of EV charging stations is rising at a healthy rate. As both the government and new-age startups/companies are working on it, the deficiency of charging stations will no longer be an issue. But the broken, non-compatible or poorly built charging points are haunting the EV charging infrastructure in India. Such EV chargers that exist on paper but are not accessible for public usage due to any technical error are a significant concern for the charging infra in India.

Now, the main issue with such EV chargers comes when EV owners navigate to charging points with their dying EV battery in the hope of recharging them and end up at a non-compatible or non-working charging point. Such instances would fill any EV owner with insecurity, and he/she will never again trust EV charging infra.

 

This issue can be easily solved by listing correct and verified EV chargers on the EV charging apps, and that’s what 1C EV Charging does: listing manually verified EV chargers with their correct location, pictures, videos, and descriptions.

Verified EV chargers on the 1C EV Charging App:

1C EV charging app has manually checked and verified charging stations with their pictures, videos and descriptions, which is extremely helpful for EV owners frustrated with the wrong charger data. 1C deploys verification partners that go to the EV Charger’s locations listed on various popular EV charging apps like Tata Power, Charge Point, etc. and perform a charging station inspection. With this method, 1C collects and lists the correct and verified EV charger data on the application.

 

Our main objective of this operation is to make Indian EV infra reliable with the help of technology and hardware expertise. This gives EV users another reason to download and use the 1C EV Charing application.

This Data is currently Limited to Certain Cities:

The verified data is currently available for limited cities only. The cities covered are the following:

  • Gurugram
  • Faridabad
  • Noida
  • Greater Noida
  • Ghaziabad

1C EV Charging is growing rapidly; till last month we were covering only Gurugram, but now we have expanded to 4 other cities, and by next week, we’ll cover a few other cities also.

Here’re the total number of verified chargers in their respective cities:

  • Faridabad-25
  • Noida-29
  • Noida-10
  • Ghaziabad-8

Issues with Other EV Charging apps:

Here’s a look at some of the common problems plaguing EV charging apps in India:

  • Fragmented App Landscape: Unlike the uniformity of petrol pumps, there’s a multitude of EV charging station operators, each with their own app. Juggling multiple apps for different stations can be cumbersome and confusing for users.
  • App Functionality Issues: Many EV charging apps suffer from bugs and glitches. Users report issues like failed logins, trouble initiating charging sessions, and inaccurate station information. These can lead to wasted time and unnecessary anxiety for EV drivers on the go.
  • Limited Payment Options: Some apps offer limited payment gateways, making it inconvenient for users who prefer specific digital wallets or UPI platforms. A more comprehensive range of payment options would improve user experience.
  • Lack of Real-time Data: Not all apps provide real-time data on charger availability and waiting times. This can lead to wasted trips to stations that are already occupied.
  • Security Concerns: Data security is growing in today’s digital world. EV charging apps must ensure robust security measures to protect user information, especially payment details.

Now, all the above-mentioned issues are solvable. They might not even exist in the future, but 2 significant issues that go unnoticed are verified EV chargers (lack of real-time data) and a unified payment system for EV charging. Here’s how 1C EV Charging addresses these issues and brings a sensible and reliable solution.

1C is the solution to all the EV infra-related issues

Conclusion:

While the number of EV charging stations is increasing, a significant hurdle for EV adoption in India is the lack of reliable and verified charging infrastructure. 1C EV Charging tackles this problem by offering an app with a unique focus: manually verified charging stations. This ensures EV owners can confidently navigate the charging network without wasting time on unusable chargers.

The app is still under development, with verified data currently limited to a few cities. However, 1C EV Charging is expanding rapidly and offers a glimpse into a future with a user-friendly, reliable EV charging experience.
