Mumbai's EV Infrastructure Story — Told Here First.

They’re driving the Mumbai–Pune Expressway. The NH48. The Mumbai–Nashik highway. And they need to charge. Be ready for them.

    Who this is for

    You run a dhaba, a petrol pump, a roadside restaurant, a highway hotel, or a commercial plot on one of the major highway corridors out of Mumbai — the Expressway to Pune, the NH48 towards Ahmedabad, or the highway heading to Nashik. EV cars and buses are increasingly making these journeys. They need to stop and charge. And a 20 to 45 minute fast charge is a 20 to 45 minute captive audience for your food, your rest facilities, your shop. You are already in exactly the right location.

     

    How it works

    01

    Site Assessment

    Weej Wala’s team assesses your location on the highway corridor, checks power supply availability, and recommends a charger configuration suited to your expected traffic volume.

     

    02

    Installation and Go-Live

    Chargeway DC fast chargers are installed, commissioned, and listed on the IONAGE App — making your stop visible to EV drivers planning the route in advance and in real time.

     

    03

    Drivers Pull In, Charge, and Spend

    EV drivers find your stop, plug in, and have 20–45 minutes to eat, rest, and spend at your establishment while their car charges.

     

    04

    Monitor and Scale

    IONAGE Nexus gives you real-time visibility of charger status and session data. As EV volumes on your corridor grow, we can add chargers without rebuilding the infrastructure from scratch.

     

    The opportunity

    India’s EV transition is playing out on the highways faster than anywhere else. Long-distance EV travel is now genuinely common on the Mumbai–Pune Expressway, with thousands of electric cars making the journey every week. [verify before publishing] NHAI is actively encouraging private operators to develop charging infrastructure on national highway corridors.

    Chargeway DC fast chargers — from 120 kW to 240 kW — deliver the throughput a highway location needs. A 120 kW charger can add 80–100 km of range in under 20 minutes for most passenger EVs, [verify before publishing] meaning the driver has time for chai and a meal while their car charges. The IONAGE App puts your charging stop on the map for every EV driver planning their route out of Mumbai.

    Bijli do. Paisa lo.

    Rising demand. Constrained supply. First-mover advantage.

    For highway operators who act now.

    Frequently asked questions

    Common Questions

    Reliable power supply is essential for DC fast charging. Weej Wala’s site assessment will evaluate your current connection and advise on what is needed to support a fast charger.

     

    Once your station is live, it appears on the IONAGE App — which EV drivers use to plan routes and find charging points along the way. Your stop will be visible to every driver searching for charging between Mumbai and Pune, Mumbai and Nashik, or along the NH48 corridor.

     

    Chargeway DC fast chargers support CCS2 and CHAdeMO — covering all major Indian-market EVs including Tata Nexon EV, Tata Punch EV, MG ZS EV, Hyundai Ioniq, Kia EV6, BYD Atto 3, and others.

     

    Most Chargeway DC fast charger units support dual-gun simultaneous charging with dynamic load sharing between the two guns — so two vehicles can charge at the same time with power distributed optimally.
