ChargeZone operates a public EV charging network with more than 15,000 charging points across 1,200 locations in India and the UAE. The company supports electric passenger and commercial vehicles, and works with automotive manufacturers including Tata, Hyundai, Volvo, Mercedes, BMW and VinFast.
Now ChargeZone has expanded its existing partnership with intercity bus operator Fresh Bus. The latter plans to add 400 electric buses to ChargeZone’s charging network, in addition to the 100 Fresh Bus buses already served by ChargeZone.
The expanded operations will connect 20 cities and cover 17 additional towns across Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana over the next 15 months.
ChargeZone will add 30 MW of charging capacity to support the expanded fleet, in addition to the 10 MW of dedicated infrastructure already deployed for Fresh Bus. The expansion is part of ChargeZone’s wider plan to add 200 MW of charging capacity across its national network.
Kartikey Hariyani, founder and CEO of ChargeZone: “Commercial mobility, particularly intercity public transport, can play a critical role in taking electrification to scale because these vehicles operate frequently, travel longer distances and depend on predictable infrastructure. Our partnership with Fresh Bus has shown that when charging capacity, uptime and energy availability are built around the needs of fleet operations, operators can scale electric mobility with greater confidence.”
Sudhakar Reddy, founder of Fresh Bus: “The reliability of their network is what has allowed us to move from proving the model to scaling it with confidence. Expanding to 500 buses and 40 MW of dedicated charging capacity is not just a fleet decision, it’s a statement that electric intercity travel can be dependable, affordable, and ready for the passengers.”
