We have some exciting news to share! The launch of our Open EV Charging Platform is finally here, and we couldn't be more thrilled This platform aims to bring together country- wide charging points onto a single platform to fulfill the increasing demand for charging points in India and make charging more accessible to everyone

By introducing this platform, Bolt Earth is now a one-stop-shop for EV users to locate and utilize charging points throughout India. We have reached out to charging point manufacturers, fleet operators, and top EV makers to add their charging points to our ever-expanding network In addition, we have invited third-party app-based service providers to integrate our charging services within their own apps to facilitate EV charging for their users

Our initiative's goal is to address the demand for EV charging at home and in public spaces by aggregating charging points on a single app for users The platform is also designed as a two-sided open engagement, allowing charging point hosts to tap into the demand for their respective charging points
