Harshit Pandey, a Delhi-based investment banker, founded Chargze in response to the inadequate charging infrastructure for electric vehicles (EVs) in India. Despite the country selling over 2 million EVs, there are fewer than 30,000 public charging stations available, resulting in a significant gap as EV adoption accelerates. Chargze addresses this challenge by implementing a demand-led deployment model, collaborating with fleet operators and logistics companies to ensure chargers are installed where they are needed most. The company plans to deploy between 4,000 to 5,000 charging points and establish 300 to 400 dedicated fleet hubs over the next three to five years. Government initiatives such as PM E-Drive and FAME II are facilitating this infrastructure development. Pandey emphasizes the importance of early movers in securing strategic locations for chargers, drawing parallels to the establishment of petrol pumps in the past. The goal is to charge 50,000 EVs daily, a benchmark for the success of India's electric transition.
