The electric vehicle division of KLB Komaki has planned to invest Rs.25 crore in setting up a total of 45,000 peer-to-peer (P2P) EV charging points, pan India.
The rollout of these charging points will start in July 2022 and last up to end of December 2023, Komaki said in a release. Komaki, in the release, claims it will be the largest P2P network equipped with smart and user-friendly features to cater to the needs of EV owners.
How it works
Komaki will be offering two EV charging point options to its consumers for free on the purchase of any electric vehicle. The bigger one is a multi-purpose charge point for bikes, cars, and three-wheelers, while the smaller point is only for electric 2-3 wheelers. The consumer can then install the charging point anywhere – outside their apartment, nearby commercial buildings or at a petrol pump or EV charging station.
The ports can be used to charge any electric vehicle and the buyer who has installed the port can make a small margin of profit out of it. The concept is already in the testing phase and Komaki aims at further spreading the EV charging network through the process.
