According to the company, as many as 362 EV chargers have already been installed in over 20 states across the country till now. The company has installed a diverse range of high-and low-voltage chargers in the 20 states. The chargers include 3.3-kw and 7.4-kw chargers, 30-kw wall-mounted CCS (combined charging system) 2 DC fast chargers, as well as 60-kw CCS2 DC fast chargers, the company said.
Anshul Gupta, Managing Director at Okaya EV Chargers said that this partnership aligns with the company’s vision of creating a sustainable ecosystem for electric vehicles in India. The advanced charging solutions will empower EV users with convenient and efficient charging options.
The company will be making a total investment of Rs 125 crore for this initiative. This reflects the substantial commitment of both partners to accelerate the adoption of EVs and support the government’s push towards cleaner transportation, said the company.
A part of Okaya Group, Okaya EV Chargers has already commissioned 2,000 chargers across the country as India transitions towards sustainable transportation.
However, Indian Oil Corporation did not agree with the company’s statement. On November 8, it released a statement saying that it has not entered into any collaboration with Okaya EV Chargers for installation of EV charging stations.
The company stated that Okaya is merely one of the vendors that have been awarded the job of supplying and installing EV chargers at select IndianOil Retail Outlets. There is no collaboration between Indian Oil and Okaya.
