Why Charzer could be a gamechanger for EV owners in India

A startup initiative that installs charging stations in kirana stores could change the way consumers view electric vehicles in India
A friend’s predicament served as a blueprint for Kirana Charzer, a charging station for electric vehicles (EVs). “A friend using an electric bike ran out of charge outside Bengaluru city limits. With no provision to charge his bike anywhere along the way, he ended up pushing his vehicle for close to four hours. Fearing this may happen again, he decided to stop using EVs,” says Sameer Ranjan Jaiswal, one of the founders of Charzer. He adds, “It struck us that there is a kirana or basic supply store every 500 metres in India. If these shops doubled up as charging areas, such incidents could be minimised.”
